Soft Skills for Summer:

Presenting Skills for Introverts

This course is designed by an introvert for introverts.

Why not make this summer the time to address key points in the communication process that are often difficult to navigate?

It isn’t about making you into someone else. It is all about finding practical skills to help you embrace your natural approach to speaking in public and delivering information to peers and strangers alike.
