What will I learn and do in each session?

In every 3.5 hour session you will develop three skills:

Facilitator Skills: the ability to organize and lead meetings to achieve a purpose.

Impromptu Speaking Skills: the ability to speak intelligently without prior preparation when under pressure.

Presentation Skills: the ability to educate, persuade, motivate, sell or inform groups of people.

In each meeting you will:

1) Use playful and easy group exercises to change the fear of public speaking to confidence. These simple exercises become more challenging as you become skilled. Even if you feel that you are shy and unable to speak, the simple and fun exercises in every class allow you to learn the skills to become a powerful business speaker.

2) Practice a short presentation within this safe and supportive group.

3) Learn about effective public speaking, personal expression, and professional speaking.

4) Have the opportunity to be one of the two students that will chair the meeting.

5) Receive a written evaluation with suggestions on how to improve your speaking skills. A video record will be kept to demonstrate the improvement in your skill and at the advanced levels you will evaluate your own video.
