Becoming an effective communicator is the aim of the young and ambitious. It's the foundation of successful business relationships. Strong communicators clearly articulate their thoughts, persuade others, and build rapport with colleagues, stakeholders, and clients. Welcome to this 5-Day Discovery Public Speaking Course. If you need more clarification on your level of public speaking, you'll develop confidence and clarity on this comprehensive journey. Each session brings context, content, and new challenges. Breathing exercises and other foundational techniques, like posture, body language, gestures, and vocal variety, are discussed, and reviewed. Throughout each day, we create and deliver planned and impromptu speeches and tie them back to the theory and course learning objectives. This fun course encompasses creative storytelling, speech structures, Aristotle's work on rhetoric (persuasion), rhetorical devices, debating, introducing speakers and offering a vote thanks. Finally, we look at the use and misuse of PowerPoint presentations. Dig in for a challenging experience in public speaking that will change your perception of what you can achieve, and reassess your career trajectory.
