The Problem

If you dislike speaking in front of an audience, you are not alone. 

Fear of public speaking affects up to 75% of adults.*

But that fear can stall your career. 

In a survey of more than 600 employers, “[good] oral communication” was the most sought-after skill; “presentation skills” came fourth.** 

Confidence with spoken communication has become even more vital in the age of the hybrid workplace. 

Many job interviews—especially for senior-level positions—now require a presentation to an interview panel, either in-person or online.**

If a presentation’s on your horizon, we are here to help.
