NEW CLASS: Improve your public speaking/communication skills in 7 weeks!

Want to brush up on your public speaking skills?
Or does the mere thought of addressing an audience make your heart race?
No matter your comfort level, “Speak Easy: A Toastmaster's Course to Fearless Communications” can help.
The $120, seven-week series is offered by Notable Northgaters, a Toastmasters club in north Seattle. Classes will be on Wednesdays, from 5:45 to 7 p.m. (Pacific Time), from Jan. 15 to Feb. 26.
And because they’re conducted over interactive Zoom, you can attend from the comfort of home.
Participants will learn from experienced toastmasters (and each other) how to:
· Choose a topic and prepare a presentation.
· Identify and deliver a purposeful message.
· Give and receive feedback on speeches.
· Use body language, word choice and vocal variety.
After listening to educational presentations, participants will practice new skills by giving short speeches, evaluating other speeches and taking on meeting roles.
Notable Northgaters has been helping people reach their public speaking and leadership goals since its formation more than 36 years ago. The club offers a supportive environment for beginners, whether they’re international students hoping to improve their English or business professionals who need to buff up their presentations.
“I've had the pleasure of seeing people transform in just weeks,” said Class Coordinator Ann Schulz. “They gain new confidence and skills that help their communications at work, at home and in their communities.”
More information on the class is available here. Space in the course is limited, so secure your spot early.
