Subject:

Description:

The fear of public speaking is so intense that most of us would prefer dying than giving a public speech. While very few people manage to rid themselves completely of their fear, many people do learn how to channel that fear effectively and become compelling, persuasive speakers. This course is designed to help students push through any anxieties about public speaking by immersing them in a practice-intensive environment. They learn how to speak with confidence in a variety of formats and venues - Including extemporaneous speaking, job interviewing, leading a discussion, presenting a technical speech, and other relevant scenarios. They learn how to develop effective slides that capture the main point with ease and clarity, hone their message, improve their delivery skills, and write thought-provoking, well-organized speeches that hold an audience's attention. No audits.
