Course Description

In this "How to Give a Eulogy" course you will learn all the steps you need to take in order to deliver an effective eulogy for a departed loved one. Nobody looks forward to giving a eulogy, but it is an opportunity to spotlight what was great and what will be missed by a close family member or friend. A eulogy isn't like a typical business speech or PowerPoint presentation, but it is still a speech with an opportunity to make either a bad impress, no impression or a positive impression and to communicate good things about the person who has just died. This course will help you prepare for the eulogy using the least amount of time and causing the least stress.

TJ Walker is a widely respected presentation coach and has personally delivered eulogies.
