Course Summary
Ever since we were born we have been presenting our point of view and ourselves. Despite this high level of practice, if you put a person in front of an audience, all their natural ability seems to drain away. Then add the need to be an expert in the subject, the vast array of presentation materials available, the inability of the body to do what it is supposed to, and you have a recipe for disaster.
This course is designed to restore your natural abilities, enhance them with the techniques of experts in the field, blend in modern presentation materials and help cope with all the issues of public speaking.
