S7PR 2EN14 - Charisma & Influencing

Charisma is not a gift; the ability to express your ideas with fluidity and impact to others can be acquired, based on the oratorical technique transmitted from the time of ancient Greece. In this course, students will work and practice the fundamental skills of Public Speaking, not only to give shape to their thoughts, opinions and strategies, but also in order to influence others and create a collective dynamic.

Communication is indeed an interactive discipline: using their newly refined Public Speaking skills, students will apply them to case studies and live situations to influence, negotiate and impact their peers towards a positive outcome.

This course doesn’t have particular academic requirements when students are concerned. Nonetheless, getting the most out of the process of this workshop-type program demands participants to show trust, mind openness and letting go. Also, a capacity to work collectively, to sharpen their sense of observation (as everyone will provide feedback to others and oneself) and to commit to activities.
