Public speaking is a key element of how we are perceived, both in professional
and private environments: that is why it is so scary! For 6 weeks, participants
will submerge themselves in the world of public speaking analyzing famous
speeches through TED videos, political interventions or business gurus), will
work on their individual weak spots, and improve drastically while having fun.
Moreover, you’ll have the ability to put your learning in practice during the
1st Elevator Pitch Contest, which will be held in Spring 2015 in Barcelona!

Maratchi (Homuork CEO) will lead the course, guiding you along a variety of
techniques that help prepare, structure, rehearse and deliver a great speech.

to share their research, illustrate techniques and ensure you get a
well-rounded view of the success factors in public speaking.

total workload will be about 2h/week, dedicated to watching video lectures,
taking quizzes and completing recommended exercises.
