Emerging Leaders Network – Public Speaking Workshop

On Thursday, August 6 from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm, members of the Emerging Leaders Network (ELN) will gather at the League and Synergent’s Credit Union Service Center for a professional development workshop.

Join other members of the ELN for an engaging, hands-on workshop led by nationally recognized presentation coach Peter George. In this interactive session, you’ll learn practical techniques to communicate with greater confidence, engage your audience, and deliver presentations that leave a lasting impression.

This isn’t about becoming a professional speaker—it’s about becoming a more effective communicator in every aspect of your career.

During this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• Organize presentations for maximum impact
• Capture and maintain your audience’s attention
• Deliver your message with confidence and authenticity
• Reduce nervousness and speak more comfortably in front of groups
• Use storytelling and other techniques to make your message memorable
• Handle questions with confidence and professionalism

Whether you’re new to presenting or looking to sharpen your skills, you’ll leave with practical tools you can immediately apply in the workplace.

The cost to attend is $99.

A light breakfast will be provided.

Date: August 6, 2026
Time: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Location: 2 Ledgeview Dr. Westbrook, ME 04092
