Public Speaking With Confidence Training Course

What’s it about?

Engaging an audience with a compelling or rousing speech is professionally effective and personally satisfying. This workshop is about courage and confidence, building the skills to get up there in front of people you may or may not know, and delivering powerful talks. We help you use your own physiognomy to maximise the impact of your speaking. The course covers breathing techniques, striking the right pitch, eliminating stammering, mumbling or rambling — all of which are the enemies of clear presentation.
