Overcome your fear of public speaking and sharpen your communication in this interactive workshop. Public speaking extends well beyond formal presentations: it includes leading meetings, speaking to a group without preparation, persuading clients in a negotiation, and presenting to senior colleagues.

The workshop shows you how to tailor a presentation to different audiences, build a compelling outline, and turn it into a PowerPoint deck quickly. You'll work on using physical space, setup, voice, and gesture, and a significant part of the class is live practice, where you deliver a concise presentation of under 5 minutes and receive feedback.
