In 2010, I began facilitating the Presentation Skills Workshop (PSW). The PSW is a two-day interactive workshop that enables participants to increase their confidence and try new approaches to presenting in different settings. In the PSW, participants deliver two short presentations and receive constructive feedback from peers and the facilitator. Participants also give one or more impromptu presentations following instruction on structuring and preparing for extemporaneous speaking. Following completion of the PSW, participants should be able to: plan and organize an effective presentation, articulate elements that contribute to effective presentation delivery, efficiently structure a short presentation with a limited amount of time.
I previously facilitated PSWs at the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology at the University of British Columbia.
