Public Speaking Masterclass with Kate Gilbert

Ever have to speak in public or present in a meeting and feel like the world is about to cave in?

Public speaking is a necessary part of many jobs these days but we don't often get the opportunity to do the rehearsal or learn techniques to make the process of creating and delivering the speech fun.

This course is designed to help you feel better equipped when having to stand in front of people and deliver. Whether you're preparing a TED Talk or preparing to present an idea to your team this course is aimed at all levels.
