However, it remains an essential exercise for career advancement, managing potential conflicts, leading meetings, and even shaping your overall professional presence.

This training is designed to introduce you to public speaking, basic rhetorical techniques for debates, methods for structuring a speech, and, most importantly, to demystify the exercise, allowing rapid improvement with focused effort.

It is intended for anyone required to speak in public, whether in institutional or professional settings, to lead meetings, conferences, or any presentation with or without visual aids.

This training can be delivered individually or in groups, depending on your needs, and can take place either in-person or remotely.

Cost: €3,000 for a group of 1 to 10 participants + travel and accommodation expenses if conducted on-site.

Duration

A training course over two days (consecutive or not) with several stages:

1. The concept of public speaking: what it involves, in which circumstances it applies, for whom, and for what purpose.
2. Message preparation: content planning. Identifying the audience, choosing appropriate vocabulary, and structuring the speech according to the context.
3. Practical exercises: defining objectives, addressing an audience effectively, and mastering the right pace and speech flow.
