In this AMA Series, we will be talking about improving the art of public speaking.

So why public speaking? Most tech professionals speak in public when they are mainly giving a pitch of an idea, explaining or giving an event talk, leading a workshop, talking to investors, presenting a project, or even a hackathon pitch for prizes. Therefore having the ability to articulate yourself clearly, boldly, and convincingly is important

Our speaker, Andrew McMasters will share on managing nervousness, using story structures to help convey your data, and finally how to stay on message. Three main points, all focused on helping people show up authentic, powerful, and knowledgeable

So from the ideas and strategies you get from this session, you'll get to improve how you pitch your ideas and innovations, to investors in businesses or judges at hackathons, or even potential sponsors, making sure you sound convincing and bold. You will also be able to employ the strategies shared to improve your public speaking skills and apply them whenever needed.
