Class will be held at EUR campus Woudestein and will start on November 17th at 16h30.
What do business proposals, suggesting changes to your boss, or convincing your friends of where go on holidays, have in common? You will need to make arguments. Here is where persuasive speaking and pitching becomes handy!
In this 4-session masterclass you will apply adequate rhetorical tools to relate to the audience and retain attention, apply rhetorical approaches to build a persuasive argument, conduct target group analysis of an audience, and choose which persuasive structure is most adequate to a given situation.
In the first masterclass, you will understand the definition of persuasive style of public speaking and learn how to conduct a simple audience analysis. We will also apply ethos, pathos and logos to a short persuasive speech.
We will learn how to build an effective argument and how to apply a persuasive structure to our speeches. You will get introduce to the concept of speech yoga.
You know the basics of crafting your pitch, it's time to tackle the audience. You will learn how to apply persuasive storytelling and to analyze persuasive figures of speech. You will have time to practice your final pitch.
It's time for the real deal. In this session, you will deliver your final assignment at our EURx Talks stage: a 2-minute pitch on a topic of your choice.
