Are you super pumped to watch a whole day of your classmates’ or co-workers’ PowerPoints?

If your answer is something like, “Are you kidding me?” or “Uhhhhhhhh no,” you’ve likely experienced more dreary and incomprehensible slide decks than you care to admit. It’s a real shame. Despite the fact that technology allows us to assemble visually stunning, richly informative slides, our workplaces don’t invest enough in training you how to deliver those slides with authenticity, personality, and impact.

In this 4-session course from theatre artist and Davidson Community Players Executive Director Steve Kaliski, you’ll learn how to become a stronger performer in presentation scenarios, particularly ones that involve slide decks. The first day, you’ll learn some best practices for making yourself the star of the PowerPoint show. Then, over the next two sessions, you’ll participate in a series of acting and public speaking exercises that will prepare you for a 3-minute presentation relevant to your actual work. You’ll finish off the course with a private feedback session with Steve!

The course will cover presenting in both in-person and remote scenarios. Students and folks from any career stage are welcome to enroll.
