Confident Speaker Course
6-week programme

After being welcomed to the class, we will already start practicing and creating a safe environment. We will set guidelines for giving and receiving concrete feedback.

A person’s body language can tell a lot about their thoughts, feelings, and overall confidence. Also online.

Not only will you be able to read the body language of others, you will also become more comfortable with your own body. Enhance your message with the right practical body movements. This will also help you in offline speaking.

Finally, you will be introduced to the 4 Golden Rules of Public Speaking – a set of rules that recur over the weeks. I know this might sound abstract now. I promise you that it will make a lot of sense later. The Golden Rules are actually most often mentioned as favorites parts of the course.

Having to improvise in front of a group… For many of us this is one of the most difficult things to do in a social setting.

You might not believe it yet, but improv is a skill you can train. I’ve seen the most shy and introverted people develop themselves into comfortable speakers, who know how to improvise when they’re put on the spot.

In this session, we learn about the essence of improvisation and practice the most effective techniques (promise: it will be fun).

Though your content may be good, your delivery is what truly makes the difference. And exactly this delivery depends mostly on how well you can use your voice.

In this session, you will learn to adapt your vocal skills to entertain and interest your audience whenever you want. The foundation of professional projection is explored and made part of your skillset. You will learn how to effectively engage your voice, avoid awkward silences in your speech, and how to master your pitch.

How do you attract and hold attention of your audience?

In this session, you will learn tools to get people to like you, listen to you and trust you. We will focus on to create a pleasant first impression, the key differences between speaking online and offline, and the best tools and equipment for effective online presentations.

After this session, you will be able to communicate with more structure and improve your storytelling.

Additionally, we continue working on how to avoid blackouts and forgetting things mid-sentence.

Being memorable is an essential skill to have for public speaking. In this session we will bring everything together. You will learn how to position yourself as an expert, to stay in control of situations and use the best preparation protocols for success.
