Being an effective speaker requires much more than simply being comfortable in front of an audience and sharing good content. Every dietitian speaks to an audience at some point—whether it is for the public, your peers, or in meetings. Take your presentation skills from good to great by learning simple strategies to help you get organized, save time, share evidence-based information, let your personality shine through, and empower your audience to take action!

  1. Integrate the confidence and tools needed to enhance existing presentation skills and exceed audience expectations including content, delivery, and participation.

  3. Prepare main points to convey in a compelling way using storytelling, visuals, and an inspirational call to action.
