On 15^th and 16^th and July, the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium and Luxembourg will organise an online training on “Public speaking and networking: How to understand and connect with your audience”, in collaboration with Masha Tarle, Communications Skills Trainer and Communication Expert.

This training is focused on providing professionals with the necessary tools to make presentations and talks oriented to the audience’s needs.

The training will be practical and based on scenarios and role plays.  Some of the situations that may be covered are the following:

• Introducing ourselves in a networking event, at the beginning of a speech, in a group situation
• Using our voice, face, and body to engage an audience that is ‘sleepy’ or uninterested
• Giving a great introduction for a speech or talk ( ‘catching their attention’)
• Dealing with a difficult audience
• Pitching our ideas or offers
• Preparing and structuring what we want to say
• Concluding a speech or meeting

The trainer will offer concrete tips based on her experience and research, to help participants improve their presence and impact, both in networking and in speaking in public.

Throughout the session, participants will have the opportunity to learn about examples of good and bad practices in public speaking and how to effectively design and manage an audience-focused communication strategy.

The training will be held in two sessions, from 9:00 am to 11:30 am.
