Learn how to prepare a quality speech, presentation or argument in 20 minutes! From one of London's leading Debate Coaches.
About this Event

In this 4.5 hour Masterclass we will be exploring: the tactics used before the speech. What to include, what to leave out, and what order to say it all in! Especially, when you are preparing to give a talk or a speech without much time to really prepare.

Key Skills we will be covering:

  • Stakeholder analysis & evidence (what sort of arguments can you build?)
  • How to build an argument
  • The basics of narrative building

This workshop for debaters and speakers of all skill ranges will introduce you to stakeholder analysis and balancing. A core aspect of effective debate preparation and argumentation. This is a key debate preparation skill that can be applied to any form of persuasive communication from the board room to presentations and, of course, debating!

Debate London's Coaching team brings together 6 of the greatest debaters from across the UK and the USA with a combined experience of over a century in debating. Wether that is leading on the debate competition circuit, judging debates across university & professional levels or running debate training organisiations to develop the next generation of debaters our team will give you the skills you need to debate with the best of them
