SPEAKING WITH PURPOSE

"Surveys about our fears commonly show fear of public speaking at the top of the list.  Our fear of standing up in front of a group and talking is so great that we fear it more than death, in surveys at least." (November 2012 Psychology Today - "The Thing We Fear Most" by Glenn Costron, PhD)

Why are public speaking skills important?

Without communication skills, the ability to progress in the working world and in life, itself, would be nearly impossible. Public speaking is one of the most important and most dreaded forms of communication. Glossophobia or speech anxiety, is the most common fear people have across the globe.

Our Goal: The goal of this unit is to turn you into a powerful, self-confident speaker. Your goal is to take command of your voices, expressions, and tone - all the tools needed to deliver content with passion and enthusiasm - guaranteed to engage your audience.
