  • 1.  Public Speaking Professional Development

    Posted 04-03-2024 10:13 AM

    Hello all,

    I am currently looking for a public speaking professional development class for my coworkers and I. We host quite a few speaking engagements throughout the year and we feel it would be good to update our knowledge on delivering lectures.

    We are looking for something that would ideally be a one day class. If you have any recommendations and can point me in the right direction please let me know!

    UPDATE: In case anyone is looking for something similar, I contacted the University of Central Florida's professional development center and they had a few lecturers available. It ended up being a 4-hour class and cost $3500. All of our staff felt that it was very helpful and really enjoyed the session. It was a mix of lecture and hands-on. They offer virtual/in-person. I contacted Chris.Rose@ucf.edu

    As a consultant, I often suggest ToastMasters.   I've never participated personally, but i've got some friends who made big strides in that organization
