With an overwhelming amount of info available on good public speaking, I was a bit sceptical on how useful or new the info in this course would be. It really ended up being the one of the most practical and applicable courses I’ve taken, with a fresh take on what it means to be an effective speaker. Really good mix of theory and hands on learning/practicing.
