Event Details

Join us for this high-energy and impactful session!

Did you know that over 75% of people are afraid of public speaking?

Turns out, presenting isn’t just about standing on a stage. It’s about being able to clearly share your ideas in everyday moments:

  • Leasing an apartment
  • Training a new team member
  • Selling a product or service
  • Even asking for a promotion!

This session will be packed with real, practical tips for overcoming that fear and communicating with confidence.

We will cover:

  • Common obstacles to presenting (and how to push past them)
  • Why your body language might be saying more than your words
  • How structure helps your message actually land

Great for both property & supplier members!

THANK YOU SPONSORS!

We are excited to welcome the dynamic Russ Webb, CAE, Executive Director of the Bay Area Apartment Association!  Russ will share his tricks and tips for becoming a confident speaker who can clearly communicate and engage any audience.

Russ is a teacher at heart and the originator of edu-tainment — making people laugh while learning. Webb has presented to dozens of industry groups across the country and facilitated strategic planning and board visioning for more than 30 associations. His goal when presenting is to make his session useful, impactful … and always memorable.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

If you already know Russ, then you know that he is passionate about M&M candies!  Bring a bag of M&M's (any size- but bag of individually wrapped snack size packages is best) for the chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card!

We will be donating the M&M's to our friends at Valerie's House.  Valerie's House is the only organization of its kind in Southwest Florida with the sole mission of helping children grieve the loss of a loved one.  Your donations will help fill the cupboard with snacks for various activities!
