About the Course
Many people feel uncomfortable when speaking in public or addressing large groups. Griffith College Dublin has developed an Effective Speaking course to assist people to overcome many of the common fears of public speaking. Our carefully planned workshops will provide participants with the skills to present and speak in public with confidence. Participants will be encouraged to develop their own unique style and to develop techniques to help them plan their speech and to make an impact when speaking to an audience.
