Public Speaking - Speak with Panache

Why is Public Speaking so Important in the world?

Why is public speaking so important to you?

Public speaking is one of the most important forms of communication, yet it is the most dreaded and fearful form. Public Speaking allows us to foster social and business connections, influence decisions, and motivate change. Progressing in the workplace, social environment, and life would be nearly impossible without communication skills. 

After the course, you can deliver your presentation with an impact, reduce your fear, and increase your confidence.

Why do people fear Public Speaking?

Ernest showed professionalism in his handouts/lectures, showed enthusiasm in his method of teaching and most importantly showed his patience. He never puts anyone down. Instead he makes constructive criticism, guiding each and everyone along whilst sharing his very own personnal experiences hoping we would be able to excel like he did in public speaking. I definitely look up to him as a role-model. Thanks once again Ernest. In the past where I'd rather listen than be listened, I'll try to take every opportunity to speak up
