PRESENTING TO IMPRESS – Wow your audience with no jitters

Speak with Impact: Confident, Composed, and Compelling Every Time

Did you know that nearly 80% of public speeches are delivered off-the-cuff? Contrary to what many believe, speaking off-the-cuff doesn’t mean being unprepared—it’s about developing the ability to turn your thoughts and emotions into clear, impactful words in the moment. The other 20% of speeches are the result of careful planning, editing, rehearsal, and practice.

The skill of speaking on the spot trains you to express opinions, present ideas, and make suggestions under pressure—while still appearing calm, confident, and composed. Thinking on your feet is not just a natural talent; it’s a skill that can be learned and mastered.

At the same time, strong speech-writing skills are just as important. They allow you to craft messages that are compelling, persuasive, motivational, or inspirational—tailored to the occasion and your audience.

Why Are Presentation Skills So Critical?

As you advance in your career, your ability to present effectively becomes more essential. You may need to speak at conferences, represent your organization, deliver an acceptance speech, host virtual presentations, report your team’s performance to management, or even compete in speaking contests. In each case, your presence, delivery, and the impression you leave can set you apart.

This course equips you with the tools to master both impromptu and prepared speaking—so you can communicate with confidence, influence, and impact in any situation.
