Why should you take the course?
Almost everybody has some fear of speaking out loud in front of others. No matter where you fall on the scale from nervous avoider to terrorised trembler, you’ll get the confidence and skills you need to move forward with your speaking journey.
There’s no ability more important than the ability to communicate and connect.
From job interviews to client pitches, presentations to team meetings and dissertation defences to dating – being able to communicate and connect is everything.
Does that mean you’ll ditch the nerves forever?
Of course not. Nerves are not a bad thing.
The problem comes when we have no control over the nerves, and we begin to let them stop us doing things that are going to be good for us.
How will the course work?
We’ll talk about what it is that causes the fear of speaking out loud and what we can do to face it, control it and overcome it.
There’ll be lots of opportunity and encouragement to speak. How much you speak and to how many people will be totally up to you.
We’ll start by talking in pairs, progress to small groups and eventually see if we can get you up in front of the whole group.
But you’ll decide how much you’re willing to do.
Our groups will be small. We want the group to be small enough that you won’t be overwhelmed but big enough for it to feel like a challenge.
Who is this course for?
This course is for anybody who feels uncomfortably nervous when they speak and wants to change that.
Some people have spoken for years but just can’t shake off the feeling of doom every time they do, and others have avoided speaking all their lives and simply never do it.
Everybody will leave the session with an action plan, laying out the next steps you’ll take to make sure the huge momentum you’ll get from this course isn’t lost.
