What CLC Graduates Had to Say After Taking Our Courses...

"The courses provided very useful tips, tricks and experiences that significantly improved my public speaking skills. Outside of public speaking, the courses helped improve my communications and listening skills."

Peter Bruce - CLC1 Graduate 

"CLC has given me the confidence to speak. I now have the skills to organize my thoughts and speak to a group of people. Prior to taking the course, I couldn't even speak out at a staff meeting. This course increased my level of confidence and professionalism."

Linda Duchesne

Why you should take this course...

Why invest in a course when there are thousands of free speaking tips on the internet? Because there is no substitute for coached practice. You didn't learn to drive a car by watching YouTube videos. 

Our courses are based on adult learning principles. Each week, instructors present a different area of focus. Every student practices every skill in a positive and supportive workshop setting, with personal coaching. In CLC courses, you learn by doing!

You will learn and practice: 

    How to organize a talk - how to create and deliver dynamic and memorable presentations

    Speech reading - practicing the do's and don'ts for reading

    Speaking with an exhibit - learning how exhibits can enhance your presentations

    Introducing and thanking speakers - setting the stage and making a presenter feel welcome

    Presenting and accepting awards - making the recipient feel honoured at their retirement, awards night, anniversary, or other special event

    Impromptu speeches - practicing techniques to speak effectively with little preparation

You will also learn different presentation techniques:

    Memory techniques - Ways to remember key presentation points, and people's names

    Eliminating "hems and haws" from your speech - becoming a more polished professional 

    Effective delivery - how to use eye contact, gestures, posture and vocal intonation to enhance your message 

    Adding KEY ingredients to your talk - Making your talk come alive!

    Courage

    Listening
