Individual Enrollment Workshops
in Chicago
Presentation Training for Yourself or Your Team
Two types of
presentation skills workshops are offered to the public:
1) Mastering Your Presentations (description)
2) Speaking with Confidence & Clarity
(description)
We take a comprehensive and personalized
skill-building approach with these presentation
workshops. This means that while you’re working on
your own real-life presentation, concepts are
introduced, practiced, refined and reinforced. You
will walk away with valuable personal insights and
techniques that you can apply to all sorts of
communication situations you face outside of the
workshop environment.

"Turpin is amazing. If you want 'tips and
tricks' that lead you to the same cookie-cutter
presentation as everyone else, go elsewhere. If you
want to be equipped with the skills to face down
pretty much any situation that might come up in the
course of preparing, presenting, and Q&A, try
Turpin."

aids and reference materials for applying what’s
learned in class to situations you face outside of
it.

they can to tailor the workshop to meet your
specific needs. No matter whether you’re a trainer,
