Unscripted Presence: A Public Speaking Workshop
Speaking in a meeting, interview, or formal presentation doesn’t have to feel scripted or stiff.
This hands-on workshop offers a practical introduction to effective public speaking, with a focus on delivering well-prepared presentations with confidence and natural presence.
Students develop skills that translate directly to job interviews, sales pitches, business meetings, and digital presentations.
Through guided practice, they work across formal formats, such as informative and persuasive talks, while also strengthening their ability to respond effectively in Q&A and conversational moments.
The workshop addresses speech anxiety, effective use of visual aids, and strategies for engaging both in-person and online audiences.
By the end of the session, students leave with a clearer sense of their presenting strengths and practical tools they can apply immediately at work and beyond.
