On Sunday<\/a>, Kathryn Presner & Tammie Lister will be presenting a workshop for those who want to learn more about speaking at a WordCamp. <\/p>\n

Here’s the abstract of the workshop:<\/p>\n

Have you considered presenting at a WordCamp but thought you didn\u2019t know enough or felt like an imposter? Does the idea of speaking in front of a group set your knees quivering and your heart racing? During this hands-on session we\u2019ll look at what\u2019s stopped you from speaking in the past \u2013 and explore how to move past your fears. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ll delve into practical techniques for choosing a topic, writing a proposal, crafting presentation content, and making great slides. We\u2019ll discuss how to avoid common public-speaking mistakes and techniques for battling stage fright. We\u2019ll help you navigate the dreaded post-presentation Q&A session and gather post-talk feedback. Each participant will come out of the workshop with a WordCamp or meetup talk proposal \u2013 and more confidence to submit it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This workshop is limited to just 30 attendees, so if you want to attend, be sure to sign up using this form!<\/p>\n
