This programme helps communicators to prepare for and deliver an effective speech. Here, you learn to motivate people  by speaking to them in terms of the benefits they will receive by taking action. Each instructional segment is followed by participant speeches that put the newly-learned skills into action. We cover public speaking fear and how to move forward despite it, as well as increasing enthusiasm. This builds speaker confidence. By organising information clearly for the audience, participants grow in their conviction and are perceived more as experts. Delegates will be able to: * Work through fear of public speaking; * Build confidence and enthusiasm by creating meaningful, memorable speeches; * Develop greater abilities for thinking and speaking with less preparation; * Minimise self-defeating speech and behavior; and * Present ideas to, and inspire the audience. Online Format—Introduction to Public Speaking is a 4-hour interactive virtual class.
