Holt Presentation Skills outlines how to build a speech from the very beginning that will assure a successful end result. This animated course will require intensive live and videotaped feedback.

Topics covered in this program include: exploring the causes of stress, identifying life events that contribute to stress, assessing Type A versus Type B behavior, getting control of our lives and ways to elicit the relaxation response.
