How to take your public speaking skills to the next level

It’s not enough to just have a powerful idea. You need to be able to speak about it to others, and do so with confidence and clarity.

Public speaking is a core skill which every public servant needs to thrive in their job — whether you’re speaking in front of your colleagues in a meeting, presenting to senior public servants or ministers, or engaging with the broader public.

Join our free online workshop to learn about how you can develop your public speaking skills to be an effective communicator in the public service. You’ll explore the different techniques you can practise and develop that will make you a more confident and engaging public speaker.

You'll learn:

• Why being an effective public speaker will help you in the public service
