The Toastmasters Competent Communication manual is comprised of 10 projects to help members develop their speaking skills one step at a time.  In Project 8 “Get Comfortable with Visual Aids”, the goal is to use visual aids as a way to help the audience understand and remember what they hear.  Often this could be done with the help of PowerPoint presentations, overhead transparencies, flip charts, whiteboards.  But speakers can also use other props like a hat, sunglasses, or other objects that will help to give the desired impact for the speech.

MIPIM is an International Real Estate Conference for professionals which had nearly 20,000 participants.
