Communication is a critical skill for leaders. And as challenges facing higher education today grow more complex and communication methods more diverse, the need to feel confident in your ability to speak publicly is more essential than ever.  

Join us for a virtual training uniquely designed to help you understand, and move through, your discomfort with public speaking by exploring these topics in depth:  

• Evaluating what discomfort with public speaking looks like for you 
• Exploring the concept of Communication Apprehension—the fear or anxiety that comes from real or anticipated communication with others, as a framework to understand what is causing your discomfort  
• Discovering a variety of tactics used to create a calming practice  
• Designing your own calming practices to use when preparing for public speaking
