Course Description

Imagine being able to give a keynote speech to hundreds or even thousands of key players in your industry, without having to leave your home or office. You can now deliver keynote speech, live, though Skype and other online services to conventions and audiences in other cities and continents.

In this How to Give a Virtual Keynote Speech course you will learn the following:

*How to prepare for the technical aspects of delivering a virtual speech

*How to speak to an audience you can't see

*How to look comfortable, confident and relaxed when speaking virtually

*How to use engage your audience and host

This course is delivered primarily through spoken lecture. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.

The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watching yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.

This course contain numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.
