Presentation Skills: Zoom with Power and Presence

Presenting online can rattle your nerves, scramble your tech, and sink your message. It doesn’t have to. Whether you prefer careful preparation or thrive in spontaneous moments, learning how to engage and persuade through the screen can transform your effectiveness and impact. Join career strategist Nancy Ancowitz for evidence-based strategies to build on your natural strengths and bring your best self to every virtual presentation.

You’ll gain practical tools to:

Assess your audience and shape messages that connect, inspire action, and persuade.
Prepare and deliver presentations with clarity, confidence, and magnetic energy.
Think on your feet! Practice techniques to handle tough questions and adapt dynamically.
Turn presentation jitters into excitement that fuels your presence and power on screen.
Fine-tune your body language, voice, and facial expressions to project both professionalism and credibility.

This session focuses on elevating your virtual presentations, with tools applicable to meetings as well, helping introverts and extroverts alike amplify their presence and influence.
