If you are looking for a tried and tested effective speaking training course or public speaking training course, here is a tried and tested one used by many individuals, entrepreneurs and corporates and solid references testifying to its success can be provided.
Introduction
The Training Corporation in association with Jennings and Associates present an Effective Speaking programme for people in all industries who communicate regularly with others, for instance in the form of meetings, presentations, interviews, sales calls, or conveying corporate policy to the public. An intensive two-day learning experience, it arose from the awareness of a serious need for communication skills in companies. Being able to communicate properly ensures that as a company, or group, you will be heard in the market place. Effective Speaking has been presented by Collin and his team since 1988. It is accredited with the Services Seta: NQF Level 4 with 5 credits.
It is a known fact that 87% of people fear public speaking more than death. Yet, a natural speaking style is your most powerful communications tool, and the Effective Speaking programme provides you with the necessary assurance and method to enable you to organise concepts for a presentation – even at short notice.
Class size is limited to ten participants, to ensure maximum individual attention. Private counselling is also utilised in order for you to discover and cultivate your own natural speaking style.
