Public Speaking plays a crucial role in a person’s life as it has the power to change.
However, a positive change or a negative change often has a close correlation with
your public speaking skills and this course is designed to sharpen those skills. A
very primitive approach to the art of public speaking is learning how to tell a story.
To complete that mission, storytellers need to internalize the story and then
recreate it from memory, using voice and body. Therefore, this course is
constructed to make learners become adept in their craft in order to create a vibrant
recreation of the story for themselves and their audience.
Step 1: Turn on your phone. Switch to the camera mode. Press start.
Step 3: Look straight into the lens of the camera and maintain the eye-contact

learnt. Your presentation should be in 2 – 3 minutes.
