Progress-U has made a decision early on not to specialize in public speaking programs. However, in order to serve our clients better, we have decided to partner with Speak First, a company with outstanding credentials in the field of public speaking. The present program was developed by Speak First, and we are proud of presenting it to you.
Why attend?
Confident presenting is an essential business skill. Whether you’re delivering a client presentation, or speaking internally, presentation skills are crucial – and many people have a real fear of public speaking. You can feel self-conscious, often showing this in your body language or a wavering voice. This highly practical course, with extensive use of video, will help you develop confidence, give you some great personal tips to improve your skills and show you how to come across clearly and with enthusiasm.
Who is it for?
Anyone who speaks to individuals or groups, or makes presentations to colleagues or clients. This course is most suitable for those who have had no formal training in presentation skills and want to become better speakers.
