NIRI Seattle Presents: How to Give "Cool, Calm, and Collected" Presentations in Today's Turbulent Economy May 14, 2009

Presentation and media skills expert Candace BelAir of BelAir Training will present at NIRI Seattle’s monthly chapter meeting and luncheon on Thursday, May 14, 2009.

While content is important, a person’s body language and delivery not only drives a message, it can make or break one’s reputation as the public face of a company. BelAir will teach how to maximize both verbal and non-verbal cues, as you "stand and deliver" to your audience. Learn how to stay on message and answer tough questions with confidence and ease.

Investor Relations professionals are a company’s point of entry for institutional investors, portfolio managers, analysts and the financial media, all of whom want the straight story and need it NOW. It's imperative to know key messages and deliver them succinctly, effectively and persuasively. Don't miss this highly interactive, lively, engaging session!
