Baird's CMC thriving in the new normal
Do you need to improve your presentation skills, for yourself or your colleagues?
Would an honest assessment of your performance and suggestions for improvement from an expert be helpful?
We are offering free presentation skills health checks. They only take 30 minutes and are done online.
Using zoom, you will cover a pre prepared five-minute presentation. This will be followed by a detailed analysis of your performance and includes recommendations as to how you can make improvements.
If you would like one of our free health checks, please fill out our short questionnaire below.
We will reply to all applications aiming to schedule your session within 14 days.
