The Nebraska Chapter of the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD Nebraska) invites the community to attend the October program and workshop, “Impromptu Speaking.” The program portion of this session speaks to communication we encounter and practice on a daily basis. In the workshop, participants will learn a simple formula for handling impromptu speaking and have the opportunity to demonstrate the effective behaviors of giving a presentation with little or no preparation.
ASTD Nebraska’s guest speaker, Dr. Karen Lisko, coaches professional women to be effective in business communication from the conference room to the podium. Dr. Lisko combines the triad of practicality, sound research, and humor in her energetic lecturing style.
Enjoy an opportunity to network and have breakfast with others who also wish to gain a better understanding of their personal communication traits. On Wednesday, October 9, we will begin check-in, networking, and breakfast at 7:30 a.m. The hour-long program will start promptly at 8:00 a.m. A 2-hour workshop will begin at 9:00 a.m. Early program registration is available through Thursday, October 3 for $20. Regular program registration from October 4 - October 8 is $25. Non-members and those who wish to register the day of the program will be charged $35.
