Welcome back to the Breakout Business English podcast. My name is Chris. I'm a business English and communication coach, and I've personally worked with over 1,000 international professionals, almost certainly just like you, to improve the way that they communicate at work in English. Thank you so much for listening and for your time.
I know how valuable it is. And our topic today is how to manage your audience's attention during presentations. As with all the best episodes of this podcast, this topic came from a real need of one of my coaching clients. In fact, this is a topic that has come up with several people I work with over the past couple of months when we're working together on how they can best present information and give presentations at work.
So if you ever need to build slide decks and show them to people, either on video calls or in the same room in person, then this episode of the podcast is for you. Equally, if that's not something that's part of your role, then you're going to find some great vocabulary and communication ideas here that you can apply in other places.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (25 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
