Public Speaking Course
How to overcome your fear and use the techniques of the masters to achieve a standing ovation when you present
“I did it! Yesterday was the last day of my public speaking tour around Australia with Corporate PA Summit. I have faced my public speaking fear and feel proud that I went through with it. What a great experience with the added bonus of meeting amazing inspirational people in the process. Feeling inspired! Can’t wait until the next conference in November. Huge thank you to Elliot Hayes and all the other people that helped me along the way.” Louise Brown @ Accuteque
‘I cannot think of any ways of improving this course…I will use the presentation planning structure for all my presentations both within and external of Sanitarium…the mixture of theory and practise really suited this course.’

Public Speaking – What will you learn?
There are two key areas you will learn how to master in this training:
1 – The Structure of your Presentation
- Being able to assemble and synthesise a large amount of information into its most digestible, persuasive form. It must be achieved without overloading or confusing the audience i.e. ‘don’t tell me how you made the clock, just tell me the time!’.
- Organise your ideas into a structure that best delivers your critical message

- Clearly communicating the information when delivering presentations so that the ‘take home message’ the audience walks away with is exactly the one we intended
2 – The Style to Communicate your Presentation
- How to take the best of your own style and enhance the effectiveness of the presentation. Being a great presenter is not about becoming someone you’re not, rather it’s about becoming the best presenter by utilising your own unique style.
- Exactly how to use your tone, words and body language to present in a compelling way that has the listeners excited to hear what’s coming next
- Tips to increase your energy and ‘presence’ when you present to a group so you stand out amongst your competitors
