Public speaking skills | Basics

Kontext / Contexte

Public speaking strikes fear into the hearts of most people and yet most of us, either at work or socially, are asked to stand and present to an audience. Everybody can be good at public speaking, but most don’t know where to start to improve. This workshop uses a TED-style approach to becoming a better presenter. Come and find your voice, learn to own your stage and increase the pleasure of public speaking.
