It is not an easy task to get on the stage in front of an audience and speak for 20-30 minutes. It’s even more challenging to go a step further and connect and engage with the audience so that they don’t doze off in the middle of your session.<\/p>\n

However, these are just skills; things you can learn and practise. No one is a born speaker, everyone learns it either by themselves or with others’ help.<\/p>\n

If you have never spoken in public before or, the last time you spoke, you were a nervous wreck or, you saw people sleeping in the middle of your session, worry no more. Help is at hand.<\/p>\n

Announcing a Workshop on\u00a0Public Speaking & Presentation Skills<\/strong> specifically designed for speakers at WordCamps and Meetups. With this workshop, you’ll be able to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Structure your session<\/strong> in an easy to follow, easy to digest and easy to remember manner for your audience.<\/li>\n
  2. Handle stress and stage fright<\/strong> so that you can focus less on your shivering limbs and more on getting your points across.<\/li>\n
  3. Use your body language<\/strong> to aid and abet your talk and stage presence to drive audience attention.<\/li>\n
  4. Engage your audience<\/strong> using well-known and tested strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Using this Workshop, you can prepare and present your own session at a subsequent meetup or even WordCamp Pune, 2017.<\/p>\n

    Here’s the event on 17th December, 2017. Make sure you RSVP:<\/p>\n
