Achieving leadership development and career progression as a First Nations leader by upskilling your presenting abilities

This half-day workshop will take attendees through practical skills to improve presentation abilities by utilising performance pedagogies. The workshop will be facilitated by a culturally informed trainer, with content tailored to First Nations attendees.
