EFFECTIVE PUBLIC SPEAKING

Effective public speaking is a vital skill for anyone addressing a meeting, especially if they’re standing for election. This intensive training session will equip you with techniques to deliver an engaging and effective presentation. Speaking at Conference is a great place to start, and another session at the end of Sunday's proceedings will offer feedback on any speech you give over the weekend. This session is open to everyone but particularly worth attending if you're interested in standing at the next council, Senedd or Westminster elections.
