Seizing Your Seconds

Harbor One U, Mansfield

 Presentation Description:         You have the floor! You're standing before a group of people who have the potential to make or break your business. What they choose is up to you. And, oh yeah, you have only 30 seconds to help them decide. 

It seems like such a short amount of time. But think of the impact 30 seconds can have. It's the time it takes to tell a news story, air a commercial, burn 10 calories. It's also the time you have for your "elevator speech". Thirty seconds is all you have to sell yourself, your ideas, your business.

Getting that all in to a half a minute can seem overwhelming and sometimes, that translates to scattered thoughts and a bashful appearance.

"Seizing your Seconds" will help you overcome those obstacles, teaching you the tips and tools you need to stay focused, stay confident, stay in control of your presentation when every second counts.
