Episode #6 - Interview with Dr. April K. Andreas Tuesday, September 4th 2007 @ 3:43 AM
Let's Get Technical! Presenting technical material is the focus of today's show. Dr. April K. Andreas, ACS, CL joins us and shares with us her experience as one who has sat through many a boring technical presentation, and through Toastmasters, learned to make her own presentations more interesting and informative. April's article "Engineering a Win", from the August 2007 issue of the Toastmaster magazine serves as the springboard for our discussion. Whether you personally give technical presentations or not, April shares "subroutines" that can improve all presentations. After listening to this show (23:43) you'll also have some great ideas next time you're asked to evaluate a speech from the Technical Presentations advanced manual.
