Public Speaking

Public Speaking practice and Public Speaking anxiety is one of the most widespread of human fears. ‘Glossophobia’ (Greek, glossa meaning tongue, and phobia is fear) is a social anxiety disorder that one out of every four people would admit to.

Scientific studies cite four primary reasons – physiology (speaking in front of a live audience triggers the autonomic nervous system to a potentially threatening stimulus), thoughts (most of speech anxiety comes from self-judgment a speaker puts on him or herself), Situations (especially in front of elderly or more qualified audiences) and finally absence of Public Speaking skill (Public Speaking is a skill and can be mastered!)

Public Speaking practice, despite the discomfort it brings is non-avoidable for professionals and company managers who want to be acknowledged as persuasive individuals and motivational leaders.

Investing in a course that teaches Public Speaking is best when it comes to overcoming fear, improving communication skills, building social connections, enhancing personal trust, and boosting career growth.
