Congratulations to our first cohort of Speakers Bureau graduates, who completed the Marketing & Communications Team’s nine-hour program to hone skills for presentations and media interviews. Over three weeks, team members reviewed National CORE messaging pillars, verbal and non-verbal communication skills, shaped approaches to presentations and discussed strategies for fielding inquiries from an array of audiences. In addition to the full course, we offer an accelerated executive course (three hours) for groups of three participants as well as individual guidance when preparing for a specific talk, interview or presentation. Plans are afoot for a second full program. If interested, please reach out to William Diepenbrock. All applicants must be approved by their supervisors.
