Most programs use generalized tips, which mould every public speaker into the same generic sound. Our approach at the Centre for Public Speaking, by contrast, focuses on developing your unique authentic voice. We focus on the elements of speaking that will make you vastly a more engaging, interesting, and transformative speaker.
This group-coaching experience will bring you some of the best elements of interactive public speaking coaching, but at a more affordable price of $700 USD + tax.
