You have a short time to pitch an idea, either in front of an audience, a camera, or around a boardroom table and everyone is looking at you. The attention of your audience is in short supply. How do you maximize your entire presentation package, from body language, voice projection, and technology tools, to get your message across, persuade, dazzle, and ultimately advance your career? This workshop supplements the slide design module, and focuses on the verbal and nonverbal elements of oral communication. In addition to elements of presentation in an offline world, the workshop will also address ways to improve your online game, through webinars and video conferencing.

This workshop will introduce students to the important concept of ethics in a business environment and will provide introductory guidance for recognizing and solving ethical dilemmas. In this three-hour session, we will explore why people engage in unethical behavior, examine ethical theories and frameworks that can guide decision-making, and apply these concepts to contemporary business cases.

Generative AI has fundamentally changed the rules. Entrepreneurship is no longer a game of resource accumulation; it is a game of execution speed. Where MBA programs once required months for financial modeling, market research, and business planning, AI now allows us to compress those cycles into mere hours. What to expect: Core Principles: A condensed overview of essential entrepreneurship frameworks. Mental Agility: Brain-stretching exercises to sharpen your strategic thinking. Real-Time Labs: We will draft brief business proposals and use AI to stress-test, validate, and automate them on the spot.
