About this course

Participants explore how to organise presentations for larger audiences, develop a communication style that feels authentic, and use vocal techniques for clear projection. The course also covers body language, managing nerves, and responding to questions or interruptions. Teaching takes place through exercises in a small group, with coaching and feedback used to develop delivery skills. The focus is on public speaking to audiences of 20 or more, rather than smaller-scale presentations such as team meetings or client pitches.

What you'll learn

  • Structure presentations for larger audiences
  • Use vocal techniques to project and communicate clearly
  • Apply body language to strengthen delivery
  • Manage nerves when speaking publicly
  • Develop an authentic communication style
  • Handle questions and interruptions during a presentation
