Course overview
Training on Public speaking and Presenting that is fully tailored to your needs and interests.
The 1-1 public speaking training option is the most effective way of gaining public speaking/communication skills. This is because gaining public speaking skills requires practising the methods learned while receiving expert guidance and feedback.
You can choose what skills to focus on – from creating good content or writing impactful speeches, to skilful delivery, to defeating fear and building confidence and authority, to persuasion and decision making, to protecting from manipulations. You will also be provided with guidance on which areas need greater attention.
You can choose the context of practice: Public Speaking for Academics/Researchers; Public Speaking for Business Professionals; Public Speaking for Diplomacy; Communication for Medical Professionals; Interview Skills; and many other areas.
The 1-1 training is also fully adjusted to your level of skills and expertise – from beginner to intermediate to advanced. The tutor of this course has many years of experience delivering training at all levels and to diverse audiences.
