Course Description:
Learn to express yourself more confidently and competently.

This practical short course is designed to help you break through your fear of speaking or presenting in any context. Whether online or in person, we find ourselves having to speak in public all the time; class presentations, college or job interviews, seminars for colleagues, sales pitches to potential customers, even the dreaded wedding or special occasion speech! Using drama and public speaking techniques, Sharon will help you to build your confidence and competence, getting your point across in an authentic way that creates genuine connection with your audience – whoever they may be. Get ready to feel the fear and speak anyway!

Week 1: Facing Fears – what the fear of public speaking really is and how to get past it. How to create confidence and competence when speaking to others.

Week 2: Creating Connection – what to talk about and how to get started. Break the ice with a short speech.

Week 3: Strong Structures – how to organise content and create a coherent flow. Support your message with relevant points.

Week 4: Lovely Language – how to use the power of words to create strong imagery and memorable calls to action. Communicate clearly and vividly.

Week 5: Vibrant Vocals – how to use volume, pace, pitch and tonal quality to add meaning and impact. Enhance your speech with your voice.

Week 6: Making Moves – how to use your body to enhance your presentation with strong gestures and movement. Get comfortable using movement to support your message.

Week 7: Friendly Feedback – how to listen to others and give valuable feedback to help them grow. Become a better speaker by becoming a better listener.

Week 8: Stand and Deliver! Deliver a 5- to 6-minute speech confidently and competently to either inform, inspire, persuade, or entertain an audience. Enjoy using new-found skills and embed a lasting transformation of your communication style.
