Public Speaking is the #1 fear for most adults. Our goal is to face that fear head-on and turn it into a fun adventure!

This is a flex class version of our popular live class for learners who can't attend live or would prefer to take a class they can watch as their schedule allows. 

**Note that the full course will be released in one week, but the classroom will remain open for 30 days, so the learners can complete the assignments at any time during that period. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Day 1, we'll unravel the secrets of different speech types, like informative, demonstrative, and persuasive. We'll equip you with the superpower to identify them with ease. We'll also unveil the 3 things every speech needs to captivate an audience.
👉 Homework for the day? Choose a topic for your speech and dive into research mode.

Day 2 is all about unlocking your conversational prowess. We'll explore the magic of weaving words together in a way that feels like a genuine conversation. 
👉 For homework, it's time to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and start crafting your awe-inspiring speech.

On Day 3, we will unveil the secrets of a great speaker, sharing tips on pacing, posture, volume, and much more. Get ready to unleash your inner performer! 
👉 For homework you will put the finishing touches on your speech and practice it. 

Day 4 - Lights, camera, action! You will take the floor and present your speech! Since this is a flex class, you will record yourself and upload the video in the classroom. 

Get ready to unleash your inner orator and embark on an adventure that will forever transform your speaking abilities. The stage awaits, and you're the star of the show!

This class is also offered in a live format.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Green! I have a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism and a career in communications. 

If you had told my family this when I was a child, they would have laughed. I was extremely shy and anxious about talking to strangers, the idea of public speaking would make me sick.
However, I had that one teacher who guided me out of my head when it came to presenting speeches. Even though it still made me nervous, I was able to do it and do it well. 

This led me to participate in competitive public speaking where I won numerous awards and scholarships. It also prompted me to pursue a career in Broadcast Journalism. I worked as a news anchor and producer after graduating before moving to corporate communications.  Now, I've found my purpose in helping kids around the world find their own confidence in communicating at a young age - with the goal of creating confidence in our future, one voice at a time.
