What you'll learn
From invisible expertise to a name people remember
Public Speaking for Professionals is a practice-based public-speaking learning path for professionals who have valuable knowledge and ideas but struggle to communicate them with clarity, confidence, and presence. The programme moves beyond public-speaking theory. Learners progressively assess their current speaking habits, understand and manage presentation anxiety, analyse audiences, identify central messages, structure presentations, use stories and evidence effectively, improve voice and body language, design cleaner slides, manage questions, and adapt their delivery for virtual and hybrid environments. Every stage requires practical application. Learners create a speaker-confidence plan, audience brief, presentation outline, story bank, slide deck, question-and-answer preparation guide, and recorded practice presentations. The course culminates in a Signature Talk Project: a complete six- to eight-minute professional presentation planned, recorded, reviewed, and improved using the Azael Haward Academy speaking rubric. This course is suitable for healthcare professionals, managers, team leaders, educators, students, consultants, entrepreneurs, authors, NGO professionals, government officers, and anyone whose work requires them to explain ideas, brief teams, teach, present, pitch, advocate, or influence decisions. A certificate of completion is issued after the learner completes the required modules, passes the assessments, completes the required recorded practice activities, and submits the Signature Talk Project.15 modules · 0 lessons
