Public Speaking Part 2
About the Program
Practice makes perfect. Business professionals speak in front of people every day, but no matter your experience level, you can always perfect your speaking style and work to clarify your message. Building on the skills developed in Public Speaking Part 1: Building Confidence and Clarity, this advanced public speaking course uses skills developed by actors to overcome stage fright, develop a strong stage presence, and develop a commanding voice. Additionally, participants are given the tools to perform a self-assessment and continue their growth after the course. This course is appropriate for any business professional that must interact publicly, give presentations to investors, lead work group meetings, pitch ideas or represent their company in social events. It is highly recommended that participants take Public Speaking Part 1 before enrolling in Part 2.
