Sweating. Dizziness. Nausea. Horror. It is estimated that 75 percent of all people suffer from this anxiety. The official term is Glossophobia. The fear of public speaking. This eight-week course will give you the tools to master the art of oration and set you on the road to leadership and friendship.
Through practical exercises, you will advance and perfect your communication skills and become a self-assured and engaging presenter, persuasive public speaker and powerful debater. You will also create a unique personal brand and find your voice.
You will explore the use of body language and eye contact while eliminating nervous habits. You'll advance your vocal skills including breathing, articulation, tone, pace, stress and more. You will study the structure and the use of power words and you’ll be introduced to the 4C’s of public speaking and the ACE Key.
