The Trilingual Podcaster / Le Balado Trilingue: Recent Episodes
Chantal Bossé
English follows
Pourquoi parler d'un podcast "trilingue" alors qu'on parle français, anglais... et PowerPoint?
Tout simpplement parce que le sujet des présentations visuelles et de la prise de parole en public mérite d'être traité dans plus d'une langue... et que je peux le faire. :-)
Ce site vous permettra donc d'écouter des entrevues en français et en anglais où des femmes et des hommes qui prennent la parole en public partagent leurs expériences, les bons comme les moins bons coups, ainsi que des trucs pour vous inspirer et vous aider à passer à un autre niveau.
Le volet PowerPoint sera en fait une combinaison d'épisodes, également en français et en anglais, qui traiteront de l'outil, de trucs pour améliorer vos présentations visuelles, ainsi que tout le volet technologique comme l'audiovisuel, les télécommandes, les câbles, etc.
Bienvenue parmi nous!
Why talk about a "trilingual" podcast while we are speaking French, English... and PowerPoint?
Simply put, I think that visual presentations and public speaking are worth discussing in more than one language. And just because I can. :-)
On this site you will be able to listen to interviews in English and French with women and men that are speaking in public. They will share their experiences, good and bad, while giving some tips to inspire and help you level up.
For the PowerPoint section, you will find a combination of English and French episodes about the tool itself, but also tips on how to improve your visuals and your use of technology such as AV, remotes, cables, and so on.
Welcome in the family!
