From awkward to confident: How to navigate everyday speaking

This practical workshop is designed to help you communicate in common everyday situations. Whether you're introducing yourself, speaking up in class, engaging in casual conversation, dealing with customers, offering feedback or sharing ideas in a group, this session will equip you with the skills required to speak clearly, confidently and authentically. This workshop focuses on the informal, unscripted and often unexpected situations that we engage in every day and provides tools to manage these moments with ease.
