- Presentation preparation
- Sooner or later it happens in every career: you get handed a speech or an interview, with only a few days or hours to prepare.
Sure, chief executives often work with diction coaches for years; you’re expected to rise to the occasion with nothing but a power point presentation and a smartphone clock.
Fortunately, there are more tools, apps and exercises than ever to help you prepare. BBC Capital spoke to several top speaking coaches, who offered seven ways to brush up fast for emergency speaking engagements or just for a quick refresher on the basics.
The better you get about speaking professionally in public, the more you may find you enjoy the experience — which will only help as you rise through the ranks in your career, said Virginia-based speaking coach Kristi Hedges, author of the Power of Presence.
