Maria Teresa Camodeca
Innovation Project Manager
Following Presenting with Confidence, Maria posted these closing thoughts on LinkedIn:
Let your dreams shine, the world needs your energy.
I have always been very enthusiastic about TED Conferences talks. This is why I have always dreamed to be an inspiring speaker. Discovering the techniques and practicing in this course has sharpened my ability!It has been a honor to study at Harvard GSD Executive Education and I am extremely grateful to my coaches Vanessa Gallo and Carmine Gallo, also a Harvard instructor, keynote speaker and author.
Through this out-of-the-box journey, shared with great professionals and entrepreneurs, I have been trained to be a confident communicator and speaker. New product ideas, radical innovations and visions, if not communicated as deserved, miss great chances. It is time to light them up and succeed until the end.
