Public Speaking for the Nervous and Frightened

Public Speaking for the Nervous and Frightened

Do you get sweaty palms and shaky knees when called upon to speak in front of a group? This brief course (two sessions, typically one week apart) doesn’t promise to turn you into a great orator, but it will help you get the butterflies in your stomach to fly in formation when you stand in front of a group by having what is called an “enlarged conversation.” Come prepared to participate and have a lot of fun! Bring your butterflies!
