JSB is my new hero. I mean, I really enjoyed watching him work and hearing him speak. He’s authentic, intelligent, sincere. The real deal.

A totally accomplished and expert presenter! I will be studying this presentation in depth.

I truly didn’t want today to end! This is the type of professional development that teachers crave.

Joyful Process, Lasting Impact

You’re presenting at a conference, or are thinking about it—congratulations! You have so much to offer.

As a teacher, you already have many of the skills of a presenter. But giving a presentation is not the same as teaching a class. Presenting has its own considerations and calls for many of its own strategies.

This program is here to help you with these things, so that you can share your expertise successfully and have joy and confidence before, during, and after your presentation.

  

Ace Your Conference Presentation will…

  • help you clarify your message and goals so that participants truly get what you want them to get.
  • give you concrete tools for planning and executing your presentation for lasting impact.
  • teach you go-to activities and strategies for different parts of a presentation, face-to-face and online
  • help you keep your audience tuned in for your entire presentation
  • ease the fear, impostor syndrome, and other ugly stuff that gets in the way of preparing and giving your presentation with joy.
  • help you hone your communication skills.
  • help you avoid pitfalls that arise from key differences between teaching and presenting.
  • help you take advantage of similarities between teaching and presenting.
  • energize you to share your expertise with the world!

 

The self-paced course includes videos and written materials covering all of the above items, as well as graphic organizers to help you plan your presentation.

 

What does this course have to do with TeachHuman?

TeachHuman exists to help you do your work and live your life with more peace, joy, and effectiveness. Too often, preparing for and giving a presentation takes teachers right out of that peace and joy. Too often, a presentation is much less effective than it could be in bringing about learning or change. We want both you and your audience—and the people your audience will influence in turn—to experience the benefits of a well-prepared, well-executed presentation.

About Justin Slocum Bailey

I'm Justin. I created this course to make your teacher-life better.

I've been a teacher (of world languages, language arts, guitar, test prep, and martial arts) for sixteen years and a conference presenter for ten. During the last few years, I've been invited to present in 11 countries and 29 U.S. states, giving dozens of workshops and presentations each year, and I've used every one of these opportunities to learn from my direct experience and from participants' feedback. All the while, I've eagerly studied communication and presentation skills and experimented with countless strategies. I'm thrilled to be able to distill what I've learned into this course so that you can benefit from my and others' experience!

When I'm not teaching or presenting, I'm writing and making music, playing board games, or chatting on a porch. I hope we get to chat sometime, whether online or in person!
