Why Public Speaking Matters

Have you ever witnessed a speaker struggling to get the message across? Or have you ever been that speaker? Who knows - it might have been because of racial, religious, or status differences within the audience. Many people find it daunting to speak in public. This is because there are numerous factors to consider when speaking publicly. And, unfortunately, many people don't know how to tie things together when presenting to an audience. In this free online course, we will help you understand why effective public speaking is important, and show you how to do it. Public speaking is not only about one person talking to a large audience. Many people are speaking publicly without knowing it. For example, a social media post can be seen as a form of public speaking.

We will cover the ethics of public speaking, presenting topics such as The Ethics Pyramid and Free Speech.
