*_On Tuesday, Jan 28^th :_*

*Don't Just Stand There by Tony Eng 3-5pm, 32-124*

Dynamic speakers are vocally energetic, but they should be physically 
energetic as well. Learn some ideas for how to more effectively utilize 
your room during a speaking engagement.

*Using Mental Models to Understand Your Audience by Mark Herschberg 
5:30-6:30pm, 32-124*

Public speaking is a two party activity--but one of those parties isn't 
very communicative about who they are or what they want to get from your 
talk. Learn about the various mental models of your audience members and 
different techniques of communicating with them to make your ideas resonate.

*Note: *Anna Kohler's "Your Presence in Space" workshop, originally on 
Tuesday, has been rescheduled to Thursday, 1-3pm in Walker Memorial, 
room 201. *

An effective confident speaker is more than just physically "there" -- 
they are present, they are in the moment, they take up space. Learn how 
to find and fill both the space within you and the space immediately 
around you, so that you can be yourself in front of an audience.
Wear loose clothing conducive for physical movement.
