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.
As a stand-up comedian, Jeroen regularly charms the audiences in exchange for free beer tokens. During his studies, he taught various courses as a Teaching Assistant for the ESE and the ESPhil, where he practiced one of his greatest hobbies: motivating students by making the classes as engaging as possible. At LifeVersity he provides students with practical tips on how to make Public Speaking fun and entertaining, not only for the audience, but also for yourself!
Participation in the course is free, however full participation will be required once you signed up and you are selected.
You will see your trainer once a week, for 4 weeks. Besides the training session there is preparatory material that you will need to cover before hand.
As long as you do not miss any session and you deliver the final assignment, you will get a certificate and a Linkedin badge!
Small parts of some sessions might be recorded, or screenshots of the zoom calls might be taken for communication, education and/or marketing purposes.
Sadly our first cohort is full! We will be back with another masterclass in September!
