Public Speaking: You Can Be More Assertive!

 

Public Speaking: You Can Be More Assertive!

 

 

 

Imagine yourself speaking in front of an audience and everyone perceives you as supremely confident, relaxed and assertive. Wouldn't it be great to know that you never have to be seen as passive again, and that you can speak in an assertive and confident style?

 

In this course, you will learn the following:

 

How to avoid the common mistakes that make speakers look scared, nervous, and timid

How to rehearse in a way that guarantees you look and feel confident

How to structure your speech to make it easier for you to deliver

How to improve all aspects of delivery

 

This course is delivered primarily through spoken lecture. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.

 

The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watch yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.

 

This course contains numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.

 

How long this course takes is up to you. The longest part of the course involves you speaking on video, critiquing yourself, and doing it over until you like it. But if you get to the point where you love how you look and sound when you present, it will be well worth the time spent. And having this skill will save you time for all future presentations in your life.

 

You can begin improving your assertive presentation skills right now. You may have an opportunity to speak out as soon as tomorrow, so why waste another day worried that your presentation skills are not up to high standards? Please enroll today.
