Presentation Advantage – A Franklin Covey Workshop
Wasted time, unproductive meetings, and lost opportunities occur due to poor 
presentations. The lack of powerful methods to inform and persuade is one of the greatest hidden and pervasive costs of the 21st century workplace.
This work session will help participants consistently deliver highly successful presentations. They will learn the skills and the latest neuroscience to better inform, influence, and persuade others in todays knowledge-based world.
