Having several days or weeks to prepare a presentation can be nerve-racking enough. But do you feel panic-stricken if you are called upon to speak in public at a moment’s notice with no preparation?
This is not a “sit and listen” seminar but a highly interactive, fast-paced workshop. Each participant will make five-six presentations during the workshop and will receive feedback after every one.
The workshop aims to help you to overcome fear of making impromptu speeches. It will focus on learning to think and speak on your feet, and being creative. You will learn and also practice an effective technique for quickly preparing a short speech.
How often have you heard an spontaneous speaker give a faltering, unconvincing, or incoherent speech? In this workshop you will practice techniques that will help you to (1) overcome your fear, (2) think on your feet and (3) deliver confident and well-argued responses.
