Public speaking can be difficult
Everybody communicates, every day. It's one of the most basic human skills, But, like all skills, it's something that can be learned, practiced, improved, and perfected.​
Speaking in front of others - in any context - is something that causes many people stress.
"I don't have to give that many presentations. But when I do, I get so nervous that I just rush through everything to get back to my seat."
"I have a technical background and find it difficult to keep people engaged when speaking in front of an audience."
We all require consistent growth and education to sharpen and refine our skills. But it can be hard to be to know what to work on.
With so many distractions in the modern world, keeping people actively listening to what you're saying can be an uphill struggle.
"I'm pretty senior at my company. I feel like my presentations don't really go down that well, but I don't know who'll give me their honest opinion about how I could improve."
"I'm a confident and experienced presenter, but recently heard some feedback that I can come across as arrogant and inauthentic."
Even if you're a seasoned presenter, it's very easy to pick up a range of bad habits that mean you're misrepresenting yourself.
