About Course
The course will take you, step-by-step, towards becoming a sharper speaker and storyteller. By immersing in a set of case studies spanning various sectors and geographies, you will open up to key principles and their practical application towards professional and personal impact and success. You will recognise the value of brevity and authenticity to connect, the impact of sharp “logos” and “pathos” towards impactful speaking and storytelling, and the power of structured practice towards sharpening this craft. Global case studies of renowned speakers like Shashi Tharoor, Kiran Bedi, Steve Jobs, Amy Cuddy, Ronald Reagan and Ngozi Adichie will open your eyes to various styles and structures that can create a connect (or disconnect) with the audience and impact likeability. In the end, you will come out with tools and a new mindset to become a stronger and more confident content planner, audience connector and storyteller.
