According to a survey by the Sunday Times of London, 41% of people list public speaking as their biggest fear. Forget small spaces, darkness, and spiders – standing up in front of a crowd and talking is far more terrifying for most people.

Mastering this fear and getting comfortable speaking in public can be a great ego booster - not to mention a huge benefit to your career. The Public Speaking Workshop at Skillz will teach you some valuable skills to help you deliver presentations with impact. Bottom line: good public speaking skills are a necessity in the workplace.

The Public Speaking Workshop at Skillz is a mixture of seminar learning and hands-on practice with direct trainer feedback, all in a casual and highly interactive group format.

• Understand the different elements of public speaking
• Master being audience-centric in your speaking
• Learn about the different types of speeches

• Deconstruct the secrets of impactful body language
