DESCRIPTION:Whether you’ve given hundreds of talks\, just gave your first
  talk\, or perhaps are thinking of giving a talk next year\, we all coul
 d use tips in not only overcoming our fears of public speaking but getti
 ng good at it. As engineering professionals\, sometimes we may focus on 
 the engineering problem and analysis yet don’t realize that how we deliv
 er the message can be just as important as the message itself.&#13\;\n&#
 13\;\nIf you break a sweat when speaking to more than a few people as we
  did\, you’ll appreciate these transformational tips as Brian and Phil d

 ect change. Whether speaking to a department\, at a meetup or presenting
  keynotes around the world\, Phil and Brian have worked to hone their pr
 esentation skills.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nYou’ve heard “Practice Makes Perfect” 
 right? Well\, that’s not quite right. “Practice With Feedback Makes Perf
 ect”. In this free workshop\, you will learn systematic methods with exe
 rcises so that you can improve on the spot.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWalk away mor
 e confident in your ability to improve your public speaking skills with 
 a framework and techniques for improvement.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThis is a fre
 e three-hour workshop limited to the first 18 people. The content will b
 e in three parts\, but each section builds on the previous.&#13\;\nPleas
