Get Professional Advice, Personal Feedback from Financial Women International

You've got prospective clients to meet, a presentation to give, or a public speaking gig - and that familiar sense of dread is back.

Gain confidence by getting some help from the professionals. A new one-day seminar, offered exclusively by the Financial Women International Foundation, will give you personalized pointers on your speaking strengths and weaknesses in an encouraging environment.

Dynamic Delivery™: Giving Powerful and Effective Presentations provides the chance to see yourself “in action” through videotaping exercises. The targeted feedback you receive will help you hone your current presentation skills and achieve success in the results-driven financial services industry.

Through small group and individual exercises, you’ll learn techniques that professional speakers use to tame their nervousness. You’ll learn how to set the stage with introductions and openings that get attention. Next, you’ll focus on the many critical elements that will help you establish a dynamic personal presence, such as controlling your voice quality, mastering body language and movement, and conveying energy.

“Speakers at any level, from novices to veterans, will leave with tips on how to engage audiences, make messages more meaningful and face that next speaking opportunity with less anxiety and stress,” said FWI Foundation Chair Cindy Haas, senior vice president of private banking at Anchor Bank in Eagan, Minnesota.

Led by one of FWI’s Certified Program Facilitators, this program is designed specifically for financial services professionals. Both FWI members and non-members are welcome to attend these seminars.
