Public speaking and presentation have for a long time been in the forefront of all known phobias.

Do you feel the same?

So what to do about that? How to fight your fear of standing in front of an audience? How to attract and keep the audience's attention? How to properly prepare for a presentation/speech? How to know and control your body more intuitively and wisely?

Participants will be actively involved in all the processes, interact and be constantly challenged in the learning process, working in a safe environment.
