Public Speaking

Public Speaking is a process of communicating information to an audience effectively and efficiently in a structured, deliberate manner intended to inform, influence, or entertain. Coursera's public speaking catalogue teaches you to master the art of eloquent speech. You'll learn everything from structuring a compelling narrative, understanding and engaging with your audience, managing speech anxiety, improving your vocal projection, to using visual aids effectively. By honing these skills, you'll be able to deliver presentations with confidence, influence others through persuasive speech, and captivate audiences in various professional and social settings.
