This course aims to help participants overcome their fear, so they can take the stage with confidence to deliver their message. Presenting to groups is a useful skill, be it a speech, a presentation, or just a discussion.

The course is delivered by David Moore who came to public speaking to overcome his own fear of standing before a crowd. For the past 10 years, he has been a leading member of Toastmasters in the UK and abroad, coached students in speech competitions, critiqued entrepreneurs on their pitches, and helped many find their voice and message for work and pleasure.
