It was difficult for our Zahntrepreneurs to get up in front of 100 people and pitch their startups during the Final Pitch. Especially because seventy-four percent of Americans suffer from a fear of public speaking. If you are one of that seventy-four percent, join us for a chance to practice your speech skills & have fun at the same time!
The Zahn Innovation Center's Fishbowl Sessions are meant to remind you that you don't have to take public speaking so seriously. They'll help you become more comfortable with the idea of public speaking by getting you to practice simply talking in front of others. Here's how it works:
- Each session will have a theme (sell a product, convince me to visit a vacation spot, etc.)
- You'll choose a slip of paper out of a fishbowl, which will be the subject of your speech
- Then you'll talk for five minutes about what's on your slip of paper
Think you can sell me a hat for your mayonnaise jar? Convince a hip-hop junkie to go to a country music festival? Talk for five minutes about those squiggly shoelaces from the 90's? Then join us on Wednesday, June 10th at 12pm in the Zahn Center @Marshak (Rm 052).
It's summer. Let's be silly.
