Through hands-on exercises, short presentations, and supportive feedback, we'll work on:
• Managing stage fright and building confidence
• Speaking clearly and concisely
• Vocal variety, body language, and presence
• Organizing presentations for maximum impact
• Understanding and engaging your audience
• Thinking on your feet and handling Q&A
• Executive communication and getting to the point
• Storytelling and persuasive communication
• Using slides and visuals effectively
This is a highly interactive class, so you won't just learn about public speaking. You'll actually practice it in a supportive environment and receive specific feedback to help you identify what already works for you and what you can strengthen.
Your instructor, Don Colliver, has spent years teaching public speaking and communication skills to professionals and brings an unusual performance background that includes Blue Man Group, Cirque du Soleil, and competitive public speaking. The goal isn't to turn everyone into the same kind of speaker. It's to help you become a more confident, effective version of the speaker you already are.
No prior public speaking experience is required.
Please note that RSVP'ing through Meetup will NOT enroll you in the class. You must enroll and pay through the San Carlos registration page:
