You Have the Word: Speaking at Social Gatherings

Ever thought public speaking is something you're either gifted at or not? That if you're not “gifted” you should just accept that? Or is this actually learnable?

Welcome to You Have the Word. Ready to make a change? It's time to rise and shine!

Speaking in front of others is something many people fear, yet secretly desire to get good at. The good thing is, just like any other skill, this one can also be learned and mastered, even if you start from zero. That is why this course was created. In it, we're gonna dispel some of the myths around public speaking, and learn some hands on strategies and hacks that can be used directly. By the end of this course you will know;

• How to organise your speech so it becomes enjoyable and easy to follow for your audience.

• How to get the most out of your time practising.

• How to better present yourself onstage.

• How to overcome your stage fright.

This course is geared toward anyone with an interest for public speaking, absolute beginners included. Any prior experience with performing onstage, or even talking to others in a discussion group, is of course a bonus, but in no way necessary. With the skills you learn here, you can create a speech from scratch, and know how to deliver it to an audience. That being said, let's get started!
