This webinar is led by ITE Professional Development Committee.

Webinar Description:
Presentations are an important part of our day-to-day work, hence delivering effective presentation is a valuable skill for all professionals. Transportation professionals deliver different presentations for very different audiences, for example:

• Clients (local and state agencies)
• Public (community, elected officials, stakeholders potentially affected by a project)
• Internal audience (team, manager, executive leadership)
• Other (professional organizations such as ITE)

Although presenting is a common part of most professional lives, poor presentations are a common reality. Common issues observed in presentations can include:

• Poor language/design.
• Inadequate language: too technical or not technical enough.
• Reading from slides.
• Excessive amount of content.
• Lack of professional experience (e.g. recent graduates)

In this webinar, a diverse group of transportation professionals from private and public sectors will share their experiences and best practices on effective presentations. To include best practices on both visual presentations and verbal communication. 

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize that different audiences may require different presentation styles
• Understand the principles of effective presentations, such as: knowing your audience; apply storytelling strategies; include a great opening pitch; use clear communication
• Apply the strategies and practices discussed by the presenters in their daily job
• Recognize common presentation mistakes and how to avoid them
• Perform a self-assessment on their own skill gaps regarding delivering presentations
