ForwardRecorded Symposium Session: Zero to 100: Becoming a Powerhouse in Public Speaking
Presenting health and nutrition information can be one of the most effective ways to provide evidence-based information to an audience. However, the approach can vary depending on audience, goals, and topic. While not all dietitians may be comfortable presenting in front of groups, there are strategies to make it feel more comfortable, credible, and convincing all while maintaining ethical and evidence-based guardrails in translating science to strategy for various audiences.
Wendy Bazilian—a seasoned professional presenter to a wide variety of audiences, and Jen Nguyen, an actively practicing and frequent current presenter—will join forces in this educational session to help the inexperienced gain confidence, learn new tools, expand strategies, and focus their lens on presenting nutrition and health topics effectively and successfully.
