KINT 4005 - Develop your charisma in Public Speaking

Public Speaking is an art and like all arts, it has its techniques. No one is born an orator. Verbal and nonverbal languages are simultaneously at work when speaking in public and to bring them to harmonious congruence is a skill to be mastered.

Only by developing self-awareness of one's strengths and weaknesses and by an active listening of others can we build our charisma when communicating with an audience.

Through this course, students will develop and practice the fundamental tools of the oratorical technique. They will work on defining the main characteristics of their personalities and how these express themselves through their bodies and words. Finally, they will sharpen their sense of observation to themselves and others in order to bring their corporal and vocal impact to resonate with their words.

Words, body language and vocal charisma also come into play in situations where we have to influence with impact in discussions, meetings and one-to-one: using different influencing styles and energies will enable students to better manage their courses' presentations, job interviews, and also alter decisions, change the course of reunions, and make things happen in their future professional lives.
