Back to Basics with Public Speaking

For this workshop, we will explore public speaking anxiety and consider transferable strategies to reduce our apprehension. Through this workshop you will learn how to prepare for your next speaking engagement and reduce your speaking anxiety as well as how to harness public speaking anxiety while presenting.

As a result of this program, attendees will:

• Understand your audience to develop responsible ways of thinking and speaking.
• Manage apprehension about communicating in public contexts.
• Develop effective public speaking skills.

This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.
