Understanding and overcoming the fear of public speaking

ACS Business Communications SIG interactive Workshop

Date: Thursday 5th June 5.30pm

Venue: Express Training Corporation

L5, 38 Gawler Place (Cnr Rundle Mall almost).

Adelaide.

Title: “Understanding and overcoming the fear of public speaking”.

An interactive and useful workshop (that is, Richard won’t be just standing up front and talking). Most people can speak reasonably well in private (with their friends, workmates etc…), however things change when they are asked to speak in public!

The change that occurs when people stand in front of an audience is irrational and it’s a ‘learned behaviour’ – I intend for us to explore why this happens (understand and define the problem), and consider ways to ‘unlearn’ the unproductive behaviour patterns and replace them with effective and productive behaviour patterns – it can be learned!
