Do nerves get in the way of effectiveness?
In a recent survey, more than a quarter of respondents listed public speaking above shark attack, snake bite and lightning strike as their TOP fear. Side effects can include nausea, increased heart rate, sweaty palms, dry throat and an intense desire to run away and hide. In these uncertain times, our open presentation skills programs can set you apart and make you stand out in a crowded job market.
Sound familiar? We can help.
If you are in a situation at work or at play where you are required to stand up and talk (or sit down and Zoom!) but are scared of public speaking, this program is for you. Whether you are working remotely or face to face, learning to connect with and engage an audience will build your confidence and drive your performance. Equally if you are OK with presenting but feel you need to raise your game in uncertain times we will give you the skills to dial up to 11.
