Imagine yourself giving a ceremonial speech and you are the epitome of confidence, class and dignity. Wouldn't it be great to know that your next ceremonial speech will be delivered without a hitch?

This course is delivered primarily through spoken lecture. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.

The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watching yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.

Audience:

Anyone who is about to deliver a ceremonial speech or presentation, including oaths of office and other special celebrations.
