Description

People are more scared of public speaking than they are of dying.

That’s just wrong.

I’ve spent the last decade working hard to improve my skills as a public speaker and I’ve learned there are 5 essential categories that, when mastered, can catapult even beginner speakers head and shoulders above the rest.

So what are these 5 essential categories?

1 - Speech Structure ("Build a Kick-Ass Speech")
2 - Eliminating Filler Words ("Ditch Your Filler Words")
3 - Leveraging Body Language ("Move That Body")
4 - Using Vocal Variety ("Speak Up, And Quiet Down")
5 - Incorporating Humour (Unleash Your Inner Comedian")

This course boils down and organizes the most important things I’ve learned about public speaking throughout my career. If you can master these five areas, I truly believe you will be considered an elite speaker and impactful communicator.

In the final lecture (Parts 1 and 2), I’m joined one-on-one by a couple of guests who know a thing or two about overcoming public speaking fears. Harry Mack (the world's greatest freestyle rapper) talks about the importance of practice; Shawn Kanungo (one of Canada's greatest keynote speakers) discusses his process and how he prepares for speaking opportunities.

If you’re ready to take your communication skills to the next level and not allow public speaking to be a greater fear than death, sign up for my course.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to improve their public speaking and communication skills
