COURSE CONTENT

Identifying your audience
The key to effective public speaking is preparation,which begins with identifying your audience. What do you know about your audience and what do they think and feel about your topic?This module focuses on these questions and others you should ask as part of your preparation.

Organising the program
In this module we explore the process of arranging content into a structure that appeals to the audience: an attention-grabbing opening, credible and digestible pieces of information and a strong conclusion.

Logistics
Venue and equipment can have a strong influence on the success of your presentation. Using good quality slideshows,handouts and flipcharts can enhance your delivery and ensure that your message is well received.

Non-verbal communication skills
Non-verbal communication is the single most powerful form of communication.Humans unconsciously send and receive non-verbal signals through body language all the time.Gestures, eye contact, posture and your body movements can either assist you or detract from your presentation.

Overcoming nervousness
It's OK to be nervous. In fact, it's probably a good thing - nervousness can be used to communicate enthusiasm. But too much stage fright can be overwhelming, so in this module wefocuson some techniques for dealing with nerves and channelling nervous energy.

Interacting with your audience
Building rapport with your audience can make or break your presentation. In this module we tackle responding to questions, handling surprises and setting ground rules, all of which play a part in helping you connect with, and therefore favourably influence, your audience.
