BSLL 1072 - Presentation & Speech Coaching

Public speaking is tough! Even in a web-based world with e-commerce at every turn we still need "face time" for persuading, calming, and motivating others as we sell our ideas, products and services. Everyone improves with a bit of speech coaching. This course is heavy on participation. Each attendee is video-taped 8-12 times during the day. Results emerge through self-critique, group feedback, and instructor coaching.

Learning Modules:

• Studying the Audience
• Preparing the Talk
• Rehearsal Techniques
• Handling Nervousness
• Using Gestures & Props
• Dealing with Difficult & Hostile Questions
• Impromptu Speaking
• Non-verbal Images
• Immediate Visual Feedback
• Personal Video-Tape

Noncredit courses do not produce academic credit nor appear on a Colorado State University academic transcript.
