Course Description
Public Speaking. Imagine that every time you speak, people can understand your message, remember your key points and have a good feeling about you. Wouldn't it be nice to know that you can present authoritatively on any subject that is important to you or has been assigned to you?
In this How to Give an Informational Speech Public Speaking course you will learn the following:
* How to make sure your audience is actually understanding and remembering your key messages
* How to avoid the most common blunders in other informational speeches
* How to get your audience to care about your information
* How to deliver information in an engaging and interesting manner
This Public Speaking 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.
The Public Speaking 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 Public Speaking course contains numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.
TJ Walker has been coaching and training people on their Public Speaking 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 Public Speaking 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.

Straight to the point.
By Courtney Nicole Stains on 2/6/2025
Thank you for this course! My takeaways are to focus on at most 5 key points with stories or some sort of visual for each key point. Additionally, the one practice method you really drove home that I won’t mention so others can find out themselves. TJ is an excellent speaker and easy to listen to. I appreciate the new content about AI and the social media app.

This is a great course in becoming a better public speaker. I wish if there will be any updates for this course is you can add some examples not just in theory but actual public speaking samples in which you apply the theories taught. Overall, I can recommend this course to my other colleagues. Thank you!

I enjoyed the course. I really enjoyed the fact that these courses were not an hour long of each topic. Concise, precise and repeated information was given. As with everything else in life, it's what you do with the information that will lead to success or failure. I have watched other courses and found that your presentations are explained with the reasoning and that helps me to understand where this information can help me in my career. I appreciate the way you present as opposed to here, just do it. Thank you

I really enjoyed this course. I am not looking to be a public speaker or anything, but it definitely improved my speaking. I basically wanted to be more confident and able to speak without saying um constantly. It was great to hear how stories make a difference—also knowing that people only take away up to five pieces of information. I will never data dump again! Thanks!
By Jean El Nachar on 12/23/2021
When I give presentations I somehow tell a lot of info and do notice that the audience is not following anymore. It is good to get a confirmation from this course that my behaviour seems to be the typical incorrect one and happy with the offered tips for a good presentation.
By Madhavi Sharma on 2/19/2021
Liked every aspect of this course, it was made as personal as possible. For being a online class I never missed the physical presence of TJ, it was like he is teaching us live in front of us encouraging us to develop good habits to get better at public speaking.
By Akshay Prabhat Mishra on 11/20/2020
I did everything TJ said. I wrote every point, narrowed it down, brainstormed them in the order of priority and picked the top five to make a video. God! I was awful. But then I kept working on it and now when I look at my videos, I can literally see the improvement. Thanks, TJ!
By Jan Neumann on 5/27/2020
Thank you TJ. This course will help me improve my presentation skills. In fact, I already started a personal YouTube channel before I visited this course, and I can confirm that I see the difference between the first video and the most recent one. Although, I still have to do lots of cutting, I can feel that I improve my speeches continuously. I guess I will always remember some parts of this course - namely the story about you training the Romanian PM. Stories make the footprints! Cheers. Jan

I found this to be useful and helpful. I have used some of the teachings here and watched myself doing it. I have adjusted and improved upon it and use it when I can. Although time is money and doing everything he says is not actually possible for most people (unless all you do is public speaking such as a politician). Either way, I think it was a good course but very overpriced for its content. So it isn´t worth the price but if you do decide to pay for it you will still end up with some different perspective and viewpoint from others out there.
