Public speaking & presentation skills
Communicating your thoughts, ideas and beliefs is a fundamental life skill, essential for defining who you are and what you need. Yet fear of public speaking means that many of us would much rather shut up than speak out in front of an audience.
Find your voice in this 60-minute beginner-to-intermediate level training programme and learn how to connect with your audience, communicate with clarity, and present compelling, persuasive and inspirational speeches, whatever the situation.
Available for VR, mobile, PC and Web.
