Continuing Education: Writing and Speech

 

If you know the basics of effective public speaking, you can develop the poise, ease, and image of a confident speaker. Whether you're speaking in front of an audience of one or 10,000, once you acquire the tools and techniques to communicate, you can do so with confidence. Topics include how to organize speaking points for a strong presentation; ways to control skittishness and nervousness; the use of body language to bring your point home; ideas on how you can handle tough questions; and how to be able to speak extemporaneously. Exercises and video clips are used in class.
