Training Course Outcomes

You’ve sat through sooooo many boring virtual presentations. You don’t want to be one of those presenters who drives others to multitask.

You’ve been giving virtual presentations for a while now, and you feel pretty good about your skills. Virtual presentations are here to stay, and you can’t afford to stay “pretty good.”

Could you up-level your virtual presentations a few notches? Are you making mistakes that even experienced virtual presenters make? The Certified Virtual Host course will make you confident that your online presentations are all they can be.

After each 30- to 45-minute mini-lesson, you’ll adapt and implement the ideas in small workgroups. By the end of this course, you will learn how to…

  • refine your virtual presentation setup
  • incorporate specific interaction techniques
  • create more compelling, attention-getting, professional-looking slides, even if you use just a few
  • prepare for tech hiccups
  • increase your audience engagement with tools at your fingertips
  • avoid common virtual presentation mistakes that nearly no one is talking about.
  • use the best tools for your desired outcome
  • plan how you’ll implement the ideas relevant to you
