5:15 – 6:05: Public Speaking and Presentation Skills: What Can Storytelling Teach Us About Presentation? (Hint: Everything!)
Presented by Esther Choy of Leadership Story Lab, this session will work on your speaking and presentations skills to help make waves at your next client meeting or presentation.

  • How do you hook your audiences’ attention right from the start of your presentation? Look no further than how any great story begins.
  • What can neuroscience teach us about audiences’ engagement? Apply tangible take-aways to your next presentation.
  • What will your audiences do with your presentation? If anything? Prompting without pressuring. Guiding without dragging. That’s what a great story can do for your presentation!

6:05 – 8:00: Networking Reception
Come celebrate our Young Pros Chicago 2nd year Anniversary and network with YPs across the industry.

If you can’t make the Bootcamp sessions please come out for drinks and appetizers afterwards and help us celebrate! We look forward to seeing all of you there.
