Do you have a big client pitch coming up? Are you due to deliver a speech in public? Do you have a live or pre-recorded interview with the media on the horizon? Are you dreading it? If so, this is the course for you.
A fear of public speaking is extremely common, perhaps almost universal. Why? Well, it forces us to be vulnerable, exposed and open to criticism. There’s even a ‘performance’ element involved which, for many people, simply isn’t in their nature. As a result, the vast majority of us shy away, hiding behind phrases such as, “No, I’m rubbish at that! I could never do it! Not in a million years”.
At The Broadcast Institute, we help you conquer, even crush those fears, by introducing you to three trademarked guiding principles. When applied, these simple steps will help see you transform your approach to, and performance in, public speaking in front of groups and audiences of all sizes.
What’s involved?
Three evenings of practical and hands-on training in our CPD accredited course, with lead mentor and founder of The Broadcast Institute, Paul Connolly. With over two decades of experience on TV and radio, Paul is an expert in media training who can arm you with the skills to speak with confidence and clarity.
We are proud to say that this course is CPD accredited.
What you’ll learn:
First and foremost, we’ll examine what, in the past, has made you reluctant to speak in public. We then introduce three guiding principles that simplify and demystify the art of public speaking, allowing you to put your fears to one side and deliver speeches, pitches, monologues and more with the self-belief you’ve been lacking. Truth is, you already have the skills. We’ll show you how to unlock and use them to great effect.
You’ll learn how to craft compelling messages, structure your presentations for maximum impact, and develop your voice and body language, through interactive exercises and constructive feedback.
Some topics we will cover include:
Understanding your audience: Learn how to identify your audience’s needs, interests, and expectations, and tailor your message accordingly.
Crafting your message: Discover how to create compelling content and structure your presentations for maximum impact and engagement.
Overcoming nervousness: Develop strategies for managing anxiety and delivering your message with confidence.
Delivering with impact: Discover how to use tone, pace, and body language to convey your message effectively.
Furthermore, this Masterclass is CPD accredited, so you can trust the quality of the course, and it makes an ideal addition to your C.V.
