Description
The opposite of public speaking is thinking. Public speaking is so much more than just giving a talk, at a conference, in front of an audience. If you have an idea, a vision, a dream, a concern, or feedback to share - it will make a massive difference if you have mastered the skills of articulating your thoughts, engaging an audience, and getting people excited for action.
This course has been created to gear you up with not only comprehensive instructional videos but also free worksheets for almost every lecture. Theory can only be turned into action if the tools are simple, logical, and applicable to most of the situations.
In this course, you will learn the fundamental basics of social intelligence that cover a broad spectrum from body language to assertiveness. Understanding the anatomy of an idea is key to actually getting to the core if you only have 2 minutes of attention in a pitch scenario. Sometimes you only have very little time, sometimes you have months to prepare, either way, you will be grateful for supportive tools that help you shape, draft, and script your talk. If a talk is really important, you might be grateful for some methods of efficient rehearsing. And a lot more.
