Summary:

Many people are afraid of public speaking. The mere thought of getting up in front of an audience to express ideas or promote our latest creation can bring on the jitters. Being an effective communicator is about understanding how an audience listens, and using speaking techniques to capture their attention. In this workshop, be prepared to have FUN in a supportive space where you are encouraged to participate in activities to develop skills as an effective communicator.
