Take an improv or stand up class at your local comedy studio. It's pretty good for building public presentation chops.

Just took a two-day workshop last week with Turpin Communication, and I thought it was the most valuable presentations training I’ve ever encountered (and I’ve even taught the subject). There was a great deal of practice and individual coaching. Dale Ludwig and Greg Owen-Boger have a knack for boiling things down to manageable, memorable bits without oversimplifying or giving things cutesy names. We worked both on organizing a presentation and on the physical and mental side of things. I feel that I gained a lot of new skills, and I really enjoyed the whole process.

If you have a lot of time and are self driven, then Toastmasters is an excellent choice. If time is an issue, contact Arden Training about their program.

I will agree with Beverly that Turpin is amazing. If you want "tips and tricks" that lead you to the same cookie-cutter presentation as everyone else, go elsewhere. If you want to be equipped with the skills to face down pretty much any situation that might come up in the course of preparing, presenting, and Q&A, try Turpin. I'm an experienced speaker, and I thought the two days might be only mildly useful to someone who's done as many presentations as I have. Instead, the prework, organizational skills, and continual video analysis of me speaking taught me a lot. You get to stay yourself, work from your strengths, and adapt the skills to your industry and audience. A most worthwhile two days.
