Like many others, you would like to become a better communicator, because verbal skills are key to true success in your management career. How you express yourself reveals your degree of conviction, the clarity of your thinking and the sincerity that drives you. This course will help you better deliver information, influence decisions and motivate, call to action or sell an idea to your colleagues, your organization’s senior managers or other groups.

To reach your objectives, you will learn the basics of public speaking, including:

  • Planning your presentation
  • Structuring your ideas
  • Cutting down on preparation time
  • Influencing by using your voice and body
  • Getting over stage fright
  • Using effective visual support

You’ll move from theory to practice by giving oral presentations that will be followed by structured feedback from the instructors.
