Public Speaking Boot Camp

Are you looking to improve your public speaking skills? Join Greg Roth and Percy Group Communications for a 5-week class that will get you comfortable then confident in addressing audiences of any size. This series is a hands-on, interactive workshop and will be a mix of lecture, exercises, and presentation.

Over the course of 5 weeks, you will learn:

• Control, poise, and confidence-building techniques for getting started
• How to select and structure your content for maximum impact
• Performance techniques and what makes an engaging talk
• Handling Q&A, crowd participation, and unplanned situations
• How to use PowerPoint and visuals more effectively

Each student will have the chance to deliver a 3-5 minute talk 3 times over the course of the class, each time employing new techniques and refining their presentations.

A key part of the class is video – we will watch and critique videos of outside talks, as well as record talks given in class for individual coaching.

Class size: 15 people maximum
Investment: $225 for all 5 classes

Dates: Wednesdays, 6:30 – 9pm, May 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th
