Course Description

  Imagine speaking to a classroom or even an auditorium full of students knowing that everyone understands you, remembers your key messages and feels you are a confident speaker. Wouldn't it be great to know that you can speak to any sized audience and that you will always come across your very best? 

  In this Public Speaking for College Students course you will learn the following: 

  * How to speak with confidence inside and outside the classroom 

  * How to avoid the common speaking blunders made by most other college students 

  * How to rehearse important presentations on video 

  * How to make fellow students and adults remember your messages 

  This course is delivered primarily through spoken lecture. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking. 

  The 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 contain 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 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. Enroll in this course today.

Got to learn more than expected from this course. TJ sir thanks a lot for giving us such a valuable content, it really will help us in public speaking with help of all your practice methods taught in this course. And I think the course is perfectly built with only one downside & that would be the duration of this course : ) totally worth it.

By Alexia Naude on 2/23/2019

I am normally extremely nervous to present, to the point that a have an anxiety attack and have to leave the room. I followed this course to give a masters degree presentation. I OWNED it! I was not even nervous while I was talking. I was confident. I had people come up to me and compliment me on my incredible speech. So thank you very much for this course. I have three more presentations in the next 3 months and I look forward to them! Update: Completed my master's degree cum laude! I am so grateful for this course. I am now lecturing at the university, which I would have never done before. Thank you.

By Sara Alaa on 3/22/2018

at first i thought that ,a lot of the video are just introduction and kind of wasting, bu then the course started to be more interesting and more useful , really thank you for your effort advice: if the introduction is shorter that would be better

By Audi Nugraha on 2/22/2018

TJ Walker explained his method well. However the atmosphere--especially in the few last videos--was not really motivating people to do the exercise :( Yet, in spite of that, I will still do the exercise. Thank you for the awesome course!

By Raluca Erimescu on 12/7/2015

Easy to follow course. I liked especially the part regarding the power of stories and examples. Personal feedback on your video-recorded- speech if you are willing to send one ;). Thank you for the resources offered!
