Successful communication with any audience involves a clarity of message, a sense of storytelling, and a speaker with confident body language and vocal strength. The key to fluent public speaking is learning to relax while focussing on the audience and your message. Awareness of one’s weaknesses and practice of strengths is integral to becoming a dynamic public speaker and the only way to move forward.
Now, with our world in flux during the COVID-19 Pandemic many of us are forced to teach, present, and train online, whether we like it or not. A new skillset is required for this medium and in the processing of losing person-to-person contact, we gain the possibility of teaching and learning online, from anywhere, on any time zone.
