Being an outstanding communicator is one of the most important and critical skills a professional can work to achieve. An effective communicator can help sort out the deluge of information the average person is surrounded with and impart it to others to lead, influence, and inspire.

The High Impact Presentations course focuses on structuring an effective presentation that builds credibility and engages your audience while clearly and persuasively conveying your message. Participants explore the optimum use of voice and gesture to create a lasting impression – as well as a variety of presentation styles, ranging from a formal speech to a casual meeting or contentious conversation.

Discover: Discover your unique strengths as a presenter and develop additional skills and professional characteristics that can push you to your next level of success as a leader in your organization.

Expect Breakthroughs: Each time a new tool is introduced, it is practiced the ‘right’ way and coached in the moment.  Successful attempts with positive reinforcement and habits are changed, and new skills are ingrained. The group is small and encouraging which adds a supportive social learning aspect that makes the experience fun while stretching comfort zones.

Members, join the HCC Ambassadors for a 30-Day Goal Getter Challenge! Get ready to create a clear and obtainable goal to support business growth and networking.

You'll create a partnership with a fellow chamber member known as your P.A.C.T. Partner.

You'll have four weekly check-in calls with your P.A.C.T. Partner and HCC Ambassador to hold accountability and provide support.

At the end of the challenge, we will gather once more to celebrate YOU and your accomplishments!​
