*CANCELLED* The Art of the Effective Interview
Maximize your chances during an interview. Whether interviewing for a job, a promotion, graduate school, or organizational placement of any kind, you must be prepared. You may only get one chance and the competition is rigorous. You need to have the right level of preparation, confidence, and ability. Learning how to prepare, dress, speak, respond, think on your feet, and follow-up are but a few of the skills that you will develop. Learn from a professional who trains the interviewers. Walk into your next interview with a new sense of mastery, awareness, and self-confidence.

*CANCELLED* How to Present Like a Pro
Focus on the two most important aspects of the presentation process: before you walk into the room and executing in the room. Irrespective of how well you know the material, your audience will make judgments about you, your product or service, and your business based heavily on how well you can present your material or sales pitch. Learn vital skills like reading your audience, using supporting materials, nonverbal gestures, articulation, and elocution, the use of persuasion, how to improvise, handling Q&As, and presenting with confidence. As all successful individuals know, this may be the single most important skill that anyone can possess. Maximize your presentation effectiveness and watch your personal ROI (return on investment) grow!

Explore the successful strategies of the art of negotiation. Whether in business or your private life, you are faced with negotiation challenges everyday.

Learn how to understand your adversary, the different forms of settlement and resolution, bargaining strategies and pitfalls, and the persuasive dynamic. This is one skill that you really want to have in your personal toolbox.
