Public Speaking Course

Public speaking is a key skill that can be utilised in a variety of contexts. It enables you to convey what you want to say in a clear and engaging manner.

However, for some people, public speaking can fill them with dread. The idea of standing up in front of people can be terrifying.

For other people, it might be that they're not sure how to engage the audience.

Our one day Public Speaking course will explore the tools and techniques required to help you counteract any nerves, and develop and deliver unique and memorable speeches.

• Recognise and acknowledge some of our fears when speaking in public
• Identify what we value about public speaking
• Understand how to plan and structure what we want to say
• Identify some of the most common pitfalls when speaking in public and develop strategies to overcome them
• Develop an understanding of how to connect with our audience
• Learn skills to help us remain focused, relaxed, and in control
