EnCompass designed and delivered the Talk Like TED course for USAID’s Bureau for Global Health. Over five years, I had the privilege of designing and facilitating this course both virtually and in-person for the GHPOD II project in Washington, D.C., as well as for USAID missions in Thailand, Cambodia, and Bangladesh.

This course equips participants with the tools to craft presentations that are emotionally engaging, memorable, and impactful. Throughout two interactive sessions, participants learn how to structure their presentations, develop a compelling narrative, and use visuals and data effectively. They engage in storyboarding, receive peer feedback, and practice using their voice and body language for dynamic delivery. The workshop culminates in a final presentation, where participants present their work, receive constructive feedback, and leave with a recording of their presentation for further self-reflection and continuous improvement.
