Success At School

You can see the audience falling asleep, you’re losing them! Someone
to your right is yawning, someone to your left is starting to doodle. All
of a sudden you realize that nobody is listening to what you are
saying.

This makes you more anxious, you become very aware of your own
voice, it IS boring! No wonder people are falling asleep! You don’t
know what to do and all of a sudden your presentation which you
have prepared, and practiced for weeks, is falling apart.

If you can relate to this, if you feel like your presentations lack
passion or that you have trouble engaging with your audience, if you
feel that far too often you lose your audience, then come along to
our peer discussion group on presentation skills.

We will be holding the second group in our Master Speaking series
at Hong Kong University as follows:

Wednesday 13th February
1:00 - 2:00
Global Lounge Resources Corner

Using ‘The Exceptional Presenter’ by Timothy Koegel as a foundation,
we will be discussing how to become a more passionate presenter and
how to engage with the audience.

Bring along your group members or come as an individual, all are
welcome

I’m pleased and excited to announce that during the course of the next few months we are going to be producing a series of 5 short radio programs on some of the main topics we cover here at Success At School. These will be held in conjunction with the Center of Development and Resources for Students at Hong Kong University and will cover a variety of topics including presentation skills, time management, productivity, group projects, finance and health and fitness.

Each show will be hosted by Dave McKeown. He will be interviewing both local and exchange students as well as a member of the CEDARS staff on their experience on handling some of the more difficult aspects of college life.

We will be recording the first show next week and it should be available shortly after. We will keep you posted with the updates.

In the meantime you can check out some of the other programs they have on the campus radio by going to the CEDARS U Radio site
