Bring Your Presentations to Life! / The Hybrid Human Connection

Want to raise your shortlist interview hit rate? Feel more confident when you speak in public? Successfully navigate your virtual meetings? In this fun, interactive two-hour Graceworks workshop, we offer a strong foundation for presenting and communicating both in person and online — in everything from shortlist presentations to client meetings, and from networking events to one-on-one conversations.
People learn best when they are involved and having fun. This virtual Graceworks session will include interactive activities such as a fill-in-the-blank worksheet, chats, warm-ups and good old-fashioned discussion.
In this workshop, you’ll:
- Learn how to connect with your audience, large or small.
- Discover how to gain self-confidence as a presenter.
- Understand how to help your listener stay engaged with you.
- Get practical do’s — and don’ts! — for video calls.
- See demos of super smart ways to use your slides.
- Experience how essential body language is — in person and virtually!
- Learn how to create the “in-person experience” when you’re not in person!
Speakers

Carol Doscher, President & CEO (Chief Encouragement Officer)
Graceworks
Carol has been captivating audiences since she performed in Broadway’s “Sweeney Todd.” For this former actress turned trainer and coach, it’s not so far from the boards of Broadway to the boardrooms of America.
Since founding Graceworks in 1995, she’s trained thousands of professionals globally to make that vital human connection in sales presentations, client meetings and lectures. Featured in The New York Times and on “Bloomberg Television,” Carol also has published numerous articles on presentation and communication skills. Prior to her current work, she marketed design and construction services for many years.
Responding to the growing need for the human connection in the corporate world, Carol is a certified practitioner of Whole Brain® Thinking — a great tool to help people understand and leverage their own thinking preferences.

Fred Redding, Champion of Human Connections
Graceworks
Fred has been making connections since managing his neighborhood paper route in middle school! During his 20s, he worked as a professional musician in southern California (groovy) before beginning to help clients with business development and account management.
At Graceworks, Fred works with our clients — creative, technical and operational people, as well as owners, to help them realize the benefits of an others-centered approach. As a trainer, he uses his abilities as a hockey coach so that each person clearly understands the concepts and creates a highly supportive environment where people feel safe and encouraged to grow.
Fred relies on his empathy and integrity to create long lasting relationships. With a natural curiosity for discovering the best in others, he actively listens to people and adds his own personal touch to helping others make the Human Connection.
