First-Year Lessons in Public Speaking
In this workshop, we will guide you through the entire process of public speaking, breaking it down into manageable steps. From handling the initial request and dealing with the pressure that can arise, to delivering your talk with confidence, we will reflect on practical strategies to help you manage stress at each stage. We will explore the art of crafting your message and delivering it effectively, tailored to different formats such as online or in-person engagements, with or without slides. We will share valuable insights on captivating your audience and making a lasting impact.
