PROP UP YOUR PRESENTATIONS: Incorporating Props to Convey Meaning
Marianne Matheis, M.S., founder and president of Career Dimensions

If you answered “yes” to these questions, you don’t want to miss th is s ession! This interactive presentation explores many options available to you when you use props to convey and reinforce your message. When even good speeches a nd presentations fail to have impact, props will not only engage your audience, they will allow your audience to “feel" your message so that it will leave a more lasting impression and prompt people to action.
