Effectively Present to a Chinese Audience
Presenting to a Chinese audience in English can be a challenge for both the audience and the speaker. Very often, the audience will leave without a clear understanding of what was actually covered and the speaker will have no idea why the audience didn’t understand what was said. After all, you spoke slowly and simply and they all said the spoke English, right?
Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that and it takes much more to be an effective communicator to those who don’t speak English as a first language.
In this entertaining and engaging presentation, Lee Feather by will show you 10 powerful ways to improve not only your presentation skills to those for whom English is a second language, but also your written and oral communications as well.
In this session you will learn:
- How and where to modify your presentation so your message is understood.
- What you need to do with your presentation technique so your audience pays attention.
- Pitfalls to avoid so you don’t leave a bad impression.
