About

Do the words "public speaking" or "presentation" scare you when hear them? Fear not, in this series we'll teach you how to present speeches effectively as well as overcoming anxiety! 🌸

In the first few sessions, we will cover everything from the structure of a good speech to using hand gestures. This series has it all! 🌼

After the learning process is completed, we'll have monthly sessions for people to keep practicing and improving. Practice is very crucial. Learners will be given a prompt in advance. 🌺

For each speech, learners will receive individual feedback. 💮

We would recommend that you keep your camera on so that we can provide accurate feedback and evaluation on specific areas. 🌻

Please keep in mind that times may be changed; let me know if they don't work for you! 💐

Before joining, please ensure that your Zoom video and audio are working properly. 🌹

This is NOT a debate series, we will only be learning speech! :)

Feel free to reach out if you have questions! I'd be happy to help! 🌊
