A poll has shown that many Americans fear public speaking more than snakes or death.
But there's good news: a Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ Lafayette Continuing Education workshop can help you overcome your dread of speaking in front of an audience.
"Presentation Survival School" can help you master skills that will make you a better presenter.
You'll learn:

• techniques to reduce nervousness and fear;
• how visual aids can draw attention; and
• some different ways to prepare and organize information.
This one-day workshop will cover topics such as communication skills, positive self-talk, making the most of meetings, body language, sticky situations and your speaking voice.
