Speaking Skills for Leaders
Whether motivating coworkers, voters, or teammates, great leaders share many common traits. Most importantly, they speak with confidence and have a keen ability to break down complex ideas into simple statements. But this isn’t a skill you’re born with. In fact, great leaders work hard to refine their speaking abilities.
In this course, we'll give you a clear formula to improve your speaking skills so you’ll be able to:
- Communicate clear and convincing messages, from daily talks to large-scale speeches.
- Capture the attention of others through genuine connection.
- Gain confidence in your delivery of important points, no matter how challenging the subject matter.
Respected leaders know how to motivate their teams through speeches, presentations, and other meaningful talks, and you can too!
This bite-sized course will help all learners use speech to connect with colleagues in a powerful way.
