CHAMPION STRATEGIES PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOP

CHAMPION STRATEGIES PUBLIC SPEAKING WORKSHOP

Module One: Getting Started

Welcome to Champion Strategies Public Speaking workshop.

According to a survey by the Sunday Times of London, 41% of people list public speaking as their biggest fear. Forget small spaces, darkness, and spiders – standing up in front of a crowd and talking is far more terrifying for most people.

However, mastering this fear and getting comfortable speaking in public can be a great ego booster, not to mention a huge benefit to your career. This workshop will give you some valuable public speaking skills, including in-depth information on developing an engaging program and delivering your presentation with power.
