In this highly interactive program, Joel teaches participants to speak with energy, passion and clarity. He shows you how to tap into your passion and make it a vital part of every presentation. Through a series of exercises – conducted in a fun, supportive atmosphere – participants learn to identify their individual strengths and to overcome whatever fears, anxieties or lack of know-ho have kept them from greatness as a presenter. Everyone in the group will try on NEW BEHAVIOR right in class – and experience on a personal, visceral level, the REACTION it engenders.
