Hello all,

I would like to hear from those of you who work with graduate 
students.  I am sure that many of you work with them as presenters. 
I'm not talking about your regular floor folk, I mean students you 
bring in for special presentations.  I have found that some assume 
that because they may teach in a university classroom they have the 
necessary presentation skills (and as we know, the required styles 
are radically different!).  Still others freeze in front of the 
general public.  I wind up spending quite a bit of one-on-one time 
with folks explaining who the audience is, some of the best ways to 
approach the public, etc.   My question is: do you have a method of 
working with them to smooth out their presentation skills?  Something 
a little more effective?

Thanks,
Beryl
