Public speaking is unusual and most people do not like doing it, especially in international business when people sometimes have to speak in a foreign language.

During this workshop, Michael McKay of McKay’s International Corporate Communications & Public Affairs, will help you improve your public speaking.

Michael will provide participants with practical guidance on how to structure a speech or presentation, capture the attention of listeners and influence them by giving a strong impression. He will highlight a list of “dos” and “don’ts” and indicate the place occupied by voice, gesture, body language and the use of imagery in a speech in public.

All participants will have the opportunity to speak in front of their audience.  The workshop will be limited to 20 participants.

Are you ready to improve your public speaking skills in English language ?
