COVID forced Bev Hepting to move her speaking coach career online. In this webinar, she will discuss the difference in techniques between speaking to a live audience, speaking from a stage with an audience in the room, and giving online speeches.   You'll learn: ·    How to have meaningful conversations with your online audience. ·    How to engage people online realizing they have many distractions around them.   About Bev: Bev Hepting is an award-winning, international TEDx speaker and coach who works with business owners, transforming their businesses by clarifying their messages.
