Course Description:

Speaking to an audience – whether in front of a large public crowd of strangers, an internal team at work, or to a classroom can be a stressful experience.

It's one thing to know your material, but do you know how to connect with your audience? Do you know how to perk their interest? How to win them over?

Unfortunately these engagements are often a missed opportunity to make an impression, to persuade your audience, or simply to connect.

Even if you're not interested to give a TED level talk, take this course so you can avoid common pitfalls that many untrained speakers fall into.

Come learn winning techniques to set yourself apart. Connect better with your audience, and leave a lasting positive impression.
