You'll meet your instructor and establish a comfortable group. Apply key principles of improvisational public speaking and BIO feedback.
In this session, you will learn to center your body language (gestures, facial expression, movements, posture) and how to express it freely.
Reflect on own use of voice and apply adequate vocal projection and vocal tools (pause, pitch, stress, volume, pace, emotions) to your own speech.
Structure: the key to a memorable speech. You will learn the concepts of ethos, pathos and logos, and how to apply them to your speech.
You will learn how to get attention, lead and interact with the audience and learn different forms of online public speaking.
It will be time to prepare and face one last challenge: the honor of being one of the main speakers at our public event: EURxTalks streamed online.
I think the course was very well structured, we practiced and got motivated. There was feedback to improve our skills and great examples. In a safe environment everyone could practice and learn from each other as well.
PSYCHOLOGY STUDENT AND FORMER UNIVERSITY COUNCIL MEMBER
I loved working on improvisation, since it helped me to get out of my head, relax and enjoy the moment. I also loved the exercises outside, mindfulness and body exercises. It made us feel like we can think out of the box, yet be who we really are.

Ruben is a second year bachelor student of Business Administration at the Erasmus University. As a teaching assistant, he discovered his passion for public speaking and helping people grow. Having completed all Lifeversity Public Speaking courses himself, combined with the experience as a teaching assistant, means that Ruben has the experience and knowledge needed to help students grow. Ruben would love to meet new students, and help them to gain the confidence and experience needed to become the best public speaker they can be.
Is a MSc student at RSM. Public speaking has always been a source of excitement and uncertainty for her. Excitement because she loves being on stage and getting the audience engaged, uncertainty because of feeling nervous just before stepping on stage. Rather than shying away, she challenged herself with our EPSA and APS courses: not only she knows how to push herself out of her own comfort zone and address her own challenges, but also knows the public speaking struggles a student might face. Her passion is helping people develop themselves and she can't wait to help you to let your voice being heard.
Nastya is a bachelor student of IBA and IBCoM at EUR. But besides that, she is a very passionate person when it comes to public speaking. Previous experience which she got participating in the improvisation theatre and private tutoring instilled the love for both and working at LiveVersity allows developing those passions further and further. Nastya is eager to meet new students and assist them in becoming more confident public speakers by exchanging knowledge, engaging with each other, and having fun together in the first place.
Participation in the course is free, however full participation will be required once you signed up and you are selected. (First session is mandatory).
You will see your trainer once a week, for 6 weeks. Besides the coaching session there is preparatory material that you will need to cover before hand.
We know that life happens. As long as you do not miss more than one training session and you deliver the final assignment, you will get one.
Small parts of some sessions might be recorded, or screenshots of the zoom calls might be taken for communication, education and/or marketing purposes.
