Mike is joined by UTB trainers, Nicole, Adrian and Paul to dissect the anatomy to discover what makes an engaging presentation. Whether you're presenting live or online, speaking with parents, students, or other teachers, you'll discover what works best and the tools, tips and mindset you need to help you connect with your audience more effectively and get the buy in you want.

We discuss

• building connection and engagement with your audience
• the place of the traditional slide deck
• how to leave people feeling supported and valued
• the digital tools that can elevate your training
