What this is

Speaking at work rarely looks like a keynote on a big stage. It looks like a status update in a team meeting, a proposal to a busy leader, a slide walkthrough for a client, or a question you have to answer on a video call. This course breaks workplace speaking into practical skills you can practice one at a time: shaping a clear message, structuring a talk, speaking up in meetings, building slides that support you, managing nerves, handling questions, and presenting virtually. Every lesson includes a worked example and an action step, so you practice on real situations from your own job rather than abstract exercises.

You work through it at your own pace, lesson by lesson, applying each exercise to your own situation. It does not promise a job offer, promotion or pay rise; outcomes depend on your field, your experience and the employers you approach.

What you will be able to do

  • Define a single core message and tailor it to a specific audience and purpose
  • Structure workplace talks with clear openings, logical middles, and memorable closings
  • Speak up in meetings and give concise status updates that respect others' time
  • Design simple slides and data visuals that support your spoken message
  • Use practical techniques to manage nerves before and during a presentation
