Surveys about people’s fears commonly feature public speaking at the very top of the list. Many people believe that public speaking is either something you are born with or without.

This talk will provide practical tips that everyone can employ, regardless of their experience, to improve their public speaking. It will highlight what is unique about public speaking compared to other forms of communication, and explain how to tailor your approach to both the audience and the format (e.g. large auditorium, panel interview, webinar).
