Description: According to a 2015 survey by Chapman University, 28.4% of Americans feared public speaking, more than unemployment, dying, or even needles. It makes sense: It’s hard enough to express yourself, let alone doing it in a forum where you’re the center of attention. Mastering this fear is the first part of Kuskin’s course, which also focuses on the best practices for crafting and delivering a speech, including “developing a creative formula, using verbal and body language, and anticipating the room.” For Kuskin, there are magic formulas for making a presentation that gets results. Instead, he will teach presentation no different than the foundations of good writing and design: “clarity, structure, and revision.”

Review: No reviews.
