Course Overview

This course is designed for people of all levels who wish to learn ways to combat fear of public speaking and gain practical experience in a safe environment, thus enabling them to start practising outside of the classroom environment.

Course Content

  • How and why we are triggered into a "Fight, Flight or Freeze" response
  • Strategies to overcome the fear response
  • A safe space for delegates to practice standing in front of a group, speaking and answering questions

Please note: Practical exercises are always optional


Course Benefits

This half-day course will provide you with practical strategies to overcome the fear of public speaking.

At some point in our lives and careers we will be required to speak to groups. Whether at a wedding, team meeting or as a key note speaker, many of us find even the idea of speaking in public simply terrifying.

Learning ways to overcome our fears can transform both lives and careers.
