Introducing the KnowledgeWave ProDev Presentation Skills Series

Written by Dave Dec | March 9, 2021

With the growth of remote working, be it due to COVID-19 or the growth of our organizations, now more than ever, we are all providing more presentations. Sometimes technical challenges can arise while giving these presentations, for example: Microsoft Teams, PowerPoint, and other technologies sometimes don't work the way we want them to. Non-technical issues can also provide a challenge: How can you give a great presentation when you are not in the same room your audience, or maybe we have a fear of public speaking?

In this webinar series, we will teach you how to focus on your strengths and help you build confidence in your presentation skills.  We will also help you identify your weaknesses while working to improve those skills, provided they continue to build your confidence. 

We will share the best practices of the most admired presenters and speakers as well as share plenty of resources for you to continue your journey towards giving the best presentations of your career. 

To help get you started, our first Module is now available to members of the KnowledgeWave Learning Site: Introduction to Presentation Skills. In this module, we introduce you to the basics of great presentations. We also list the typical strengths and weaknesses of presenters and how to avoid common presentation traps.
