Join us for lunch and learn more about the Pinnacle Method™ - a 3-step process that gives everyone -- from introverts to polished speakers -- delivery tools and techniques from the world of professional acting. You can use this award-winning process to captivate your audience, persuade others, and enhance your career.
In this interactive session, you will learn how to:
- Make a strong first impression
- Determine your message's objective and how to deliver it in order to influence your audience
- Align your voice and body language to clearly communicate that message
