Connecting in a Second Language with Rina Shin
Language should not, and is not, a barrier to expressing creative ideas. This ESL Workshop is designed to boost your confidence in speaking and presenting professionally in English - or any second language. Through this session, you’ll learn to overcome fear and hesitation, enhancing your professional presence in various settings like presentations, meetings, or career advancements.
Strategies to improve fluency and confidence when speaking in a second language
Mind-setting for effective networking and building professional connections in English
Methods for clear and engaging communication in design presentations and discussions, with both English and non-English collaborators
WID x Spitfire presents:
Beyond the Visual, a storytelling workshop series
Whether it’s presenting to a client, leading a team meeting or pitching a concept, great spoken and written communication is an essential skill for designers. It’s also a little outside many of our comfort zones!
Throughout this workshop series, we hope to provide a broad foundation of useful storytelling techniques and a friendly environment in which to practice them. Light food and drink to be provided.
