What you will learn

Use pace, pauses and tone to make your points land
Cut out filler words like "um" and "you know"
Stand still with purpose, move with intent and use gestures that match your message
Hold eye contact and connect with every part of the room
Warm up your voice and build your own pre-stage routine

How you are assessed
