Improving Public Speaking Skills and Maximizing Networking Opportunities
American Women Lawyers in London (AWLL) and the London Global Gateway host this exciting professional development event: ‘Improving Public Speaking Skills and Maximizing Networking Opportunities’ with Jayne Constantinis.
The session will explore some of the most common communication challenges faced by professional women (many of them lawyers). It will offer practical solutions to grow confidence and skill, covering areas such as:
- Preparation – how to choreograph a piece of communication
- Why presentations aren’t about you!
- Speaking with clarity
- Being engaging and memorable
- ‘Performance’ (verbal and non-verbal techniques)
- Strategies for dealing with challenge
- Networking – how to be authentic and how to enjoy it.
Notre Dame students and staff are welcome to attend but must email lonconf@nd.edu to reserve their place.
