 ductory public speaking training focuses on building the basic technic

 o an audience. Specific skills include word choice, eye contact, volum
 e, vocalized pauses, and body language. Using a small-group format for
  practical training followed by a discussion debrief from each exercis
 e, the training is designed to allow all participants the opportunity 
 to practice their speaking in an environment that is supportive, atten
 tive, and can provide useful feedback.\n\nABOUT OUR PRESENTER\nDave Ri
