Do you break out in a sweat just thinking about speaking at a business meeting or class or even a large family gathering? If so, the Nackey S. Loeb School of Communications is looking for you!
 
The school is presenting a day-long workshop “Public Speaking and Professional Presentations” on April 12.
 
Taught by Southern New Hampshire University Professor Andrea Bard, the workshop will offer instruction on delivering professional, confident and well-articulated presentations. Students will give several presentations through the day and receive constructive feedback.
 
“Speaking in front of a group of people is terrifying for many people,” said David Tirrell-Wysocki, executive director of the non-profit school. “Our workshop will offer students hands-on guidance and practice in front of a friendly audience to help overcome the fear and gain confidence needed to deliver their message.”  
 
The course is designed for beginners, or those who are looking for tips to improve their public speaking skills.
 
With 20 years of experience as a teacher and trainer, Andrea Bard has developed and presented training programs and workshops on a variety of topics including organizational communication, professional presentations, meeting planning, interviewing skills and job search techniques.
 
The workshop, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., has limited enrollment to ensure the maximum amount of speaking time and feedback per student. The $40 fee includes lunch.
