Presentation Training to Engage Your Audience and Project Confidence

Have you been wanting to participate in an EMS workshop but haven’t yet scheduled one for yourself or your team? Here’s something you can do right away: watch portions of the Impeachment Trial to get a real-world seminar in Team Presenting. Feel free to use our discussion questions to interpret and evaluate the strategies that both House Managers and White House lawyers are using to take advantage of individual strengths of their team members as they argue their cases in front of the Senate.

Hey EMS! Can I tell a joke in my presentation? It’s a common question. The best way to answer is by sharing examples of humor being used effectively (or ineffectively.) When it’s timely, on topic, and catches the audience off-guard, a joke can really make an impact. We appreciate a moment of humor injected into one of the marathon days on the Senate floor, delivered by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.

Those involved in the Impeachment trial have been facing some very long days. No one’s days have been longer, though, than for Chief Justice John Roberts, who hears Supreme Court cases in the morning before convening Senators for trial by afternoon. And though he doesn’t have a huge role in the trial, he chose to flex his muscles early in the proceedings, and we do mean early.

Regardless of where you land on today’s political spectrum, most will agree that President Donald Trump has a unique and powerful speaking presence. We’re sharing a very non-political look at the speaking style of our president. You’ll find some techniques that he does exceptionally well—and a few that you might want to try yourself!
