Your Voice is Doing a Lot of Talking! How You Say Things Really Matters
Session Type(s): Training
Training Tag(s): Communications
Starts: Thursday, Oct. 7 2:15 PM (Eastern)
Ends: Thursday, Oct. 7 3:15 PM (Eastern)
What is it about the great speakers like President Obama and Amanda Gorman? It’s not the great speech writing; It’s the WAY that they speak that draws you in. This session goes beyond your words/content to use your voice to best communicate your ideas. Join us for techniques and skill for using your voice, and tips for taking good care of that instrument.
