10 Things You Need to Know About Public Speaking 

This may go without saying but excellent communication skills are critically important for interpreters and being able to communicate effectively in public is essential for all interpreters working in court or at depositions or in any number of other legal settings. If you've ever been asked to speak up, slow down, speak more clearly, repeat what you've just said or if the thought of having to speak (interpret) in a room of people hanging on your every word makes your stomach turn, then you know just how difficult a task public speaking can be.

For some speaking in public comes quite easily, for others this skill takes considerable work. And we all can benefit from some practice and pointers.

Please join us on Saturday, June 2nd at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library Auditorium for "10 Things You Need to Know About Public Speaking," presented by Don Griffith of Toastmasters International.

This workshop is free for ACIA members and only $40 for non-members.

Sign-in begins at 10:30 outside the auditorium on June 2nd; presentation begins at 11:00 AM.
