No matter how nervous you are about public speaking, there will be times in your life where you are called upon to speak in front of a live audience. So join this live 6-week course designed to help you not only overcome stage fright but to develop confidence and joy in your public speaking skills!
Classes are limited to just 15 participants, so you get to build your skills in a warm, convivial, and supportive learning environment. You will also get personalized coaching every step of the way from me!
You will learn the basics of four common types of public speaking:
🌟 Eulogies: Honor the memory of a loved one.
🌟 Commemorative Speeches: Mark a milestone achievement of a person, group, or organization.
🌟 Persuasive Speeches: Advocate for or against a proposed policy at a civic hearing.
🌟 Toasts: Celebrate someone at a wedding or significant life event.
The class culminates in a warm banquet-style event where you will get to demonstrate your public speaking skills for an appreciative audience!
