Public Speaking for Innovation: Building Your Presence and Making the Case for Change

Catalog description

Builds presence as a speaker and a leader. Public speaking has evolved dramatically over the last few years. Now it is about creating a public presence; e.g., on YouTube, Facebook live, TED Talks. Public speaking for innovation is a combination of finding and building one's presence as a speaker--and translating that to an ability to explain and persuade, making the case for change. Students build their presence and gain the foundational knowledge necessary to successfully explain and persuade in various modalities of media, from speaking in person to video creations.
