This is an action-packed public speaker skills training course, where you’ll learn evidence-backed techniques, see video examples, and practice. You will also be videoed and privately, see videos of your practice sessions to build your confidence and personal style.
We start by addressing your public speaking nerves and key communication rules-of-thumb. Then, we move through a step-by-step process to develop and deliver great live and virtual presentations. As this workshop is limited to just 5 people, you will receive individual attention and practice your speaker skills in a comfortable confidence-building setting. You’ll emerge with more confidence and practical tools to create engaging presentations.
This public speaker skills training is facilitated by our highly rated trainer in English (see below for details).
