Course Description
Assertiveness can be learned! Imagine yourself speaking in front of an audience and everyone perceives you as supremely confident, relaxed and assertive. Wouldn't it be great to know that you never have to be seen as passive again, and that you can speak in an assertive and confident style? Your assertiveness can grow.
In this Assertiveness Public Speaking course, you will learn the following:
* How to avoid the common mistakes that make speakers look scared, nervous and timid
* How to rehearse in a way that guarantees you look and feel confident
* How to structure your speech to make it easier for you to deliver
* How to improve all aspects of delivery
*How to demonstrate assertiveness whenever you want
This course is delivered primarily through spoken lectures. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking. Assertiveness is something you build through speaking more forcefully and more often.
The Assertiveness skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watching yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.
This course contains numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.
TJ Walker has been coaching and training people on their presentation skills for 30 years. Now, through the power of Udemy's online platform, he is able to give you the same high quality training that he gives in person to CEOs, Fortune 500 executives, and Presidents of countries. Only you can now receive the training at a tiny fraction of the normal fee for in-person training.
How long this course takes is up to you. The longest part of the course involves you speaking on video, critiquing yourself, and doing it over until you like it. But if you get to the point where you love how you look and sound when you present it will be well worth the time spent. And having this skill will save you time for all future presentations in your life.
You can begin improving your assertiveness presentation skills right now. You may have an opportunity to speak out as soon as tomorrow, so why waste another day worried that your presentation skills are not up to high standards. Please enroll today.
"5 Stars! I now feel confident that I know how to become a great speaker - Thank you TJ" Udemy student Jessica Melo
"5 Stars! With a side of the boot to the keester when needed. TJ has so much good information, knowledge, and experience. One thing that I really like is he doesn't try to stick a bunch of information into one video that you can't access or refer to when you need it later. Incredible course. Thank you."

It was good to know how to feel comfortable with the audience. I especially like the advice Bill Clinton share about locking eyes with one person then moving to the next.
By Nicholas Akahome on 2/26/2024
I`m absolutely liking this course more than I had thought. As a professional HSE trainer, I come across a lot of audience internally and externally and, most of what I`m learning from this course now will make me a better trainer and coach.
By Nadia Myers on 9/2/2022
Lots of talking without any demonstrations which makes it hard to learn any techniques. I think it needs someone to show do's and do not's with practice exercises not just a speech.
By Shira Wisemon on 5/17/2020
Thank you for the course. It was really interesting! It made me think of my past presentation's, look at them and made me whant to practice a speech to see what i think of myself and how i could do better.
By Katherine Haigh on 3/14/2019
I really appreciate being given practical assignments like videoing myself - it makes it so much easier to engage! I was expecting just a series of talks/articles and some recommendations, but being asked to do things as I go along has been really motivational and I feel like I'm actually learning :)

hi my experience has been great.learning from a master is a joy and awe in itslef. many things are there in our subconscious but we cannot apply until we are told to. TJ Walker is a great teacher and a master of his craft.
By Emil Moldovan on 5/22/2018
I've got a lot of good advices on how to make a good presentation, I like the way the presenter had structured this course and how engaging he is. I think this course will help me to write and present in a better way.
By Ankit Pandey on 3/12/2018
It was/is perfect for me, and I did not face any difficulties in learning the concepts, whatsoever. Therefore, I really admire your work and I might be a newcomer, a beginner.I feel nothing but gratitude.Have a nice day!
By Gareth busby on 1/11/2018
Feel so much better about speaking now. I did find some of it was a bit repetitive. However. Big picture. I think I got what I needed and hope to work on my technique using these strategies
