Jay Sullivan, Managing Partner at Exec-Comm and leader of the firm’s Law Firm Group, will lead this professional development seminar. Join us to learn techniques on messaging -- how to have a clear, succinct message about your content and drive home key points to your audience of learners; and manner --  how to present with confidence, manage nerves and deliver complex content clearly when delivering from either slides or notes. Jay will incorporate hands-on exercises to help us practice and hone these skills. 

This seminar is of interest and value to many others at our firms including professional development and human resources staff members.  Please feel free to invite them to the April meeting with you.
