Speaking well is not about charisma. It is about clarity of thought, control of presence, and the discipline of saying less than you could. This program teaches public speaking as a craft: how to structure what you say, how to deliver it without performing, and how to make rooms quiet down when you start talking. Whether the room is two people or two thousand, the underlying skills are the same.

What you will be able to do

  1. 01Work out what you are really trying to say before you speak.
  2. 02Read your audience and structure your talk so it is easy to follow.
  3. 03Prepare well without memorising a script word for word.
  4. 04Use your voice, body and eye contact to show calm presence.
  5. 05Handle your nerves and tell stories that people remember.
  6. 06Speak well in the boardroom, on stage and in live questions.
