Summary
For the foreseeable future, delivering virtual presentations to internal and external audiences will be a critical professional skill. Many high-stakes virtual presentations that are currently delivered fall short of the necessary purpose, engagement, and professionalism needed to be effective. It is not enough to take a prepared live presentation and do the same thing in a virtual setting. Current research shows that this will result in a lack of clarity and engagement with your message. Designing and delivering virtual presentations requires specific knowledge and skills to achieve the presentation's purpose.
Demonstrate to your organization, clients, potential employers and other key stakeholders that you can design and deliver an engaging and effective professional virtual presentation.
