JCI UK Public Speaking Academy 2015

JCI UK is proud to present our Public Speaking Academy, back for its second year in 2015.

The aim of the academy is to help all delegates to take their speaking skills to the next level, no matter what the starting point. Over two days, delegates will learn about:

• Owning the stage - charisma, body language and connection with your audience
• Storytelling - communicating your message and your values
• Writing an impactful speech - structure, language and clarity
• JCI competitions - tips for debating and extempore

Our trainers are experienced JCI members, senators and external experts. Each with their own style and experiences, they will ensure a holistic learning environment to suit the different personalities, strengths and ambitions of our delegates. There will be plenty of opportunities throughout the weekend for participants to practice and receive constructive feedback. A supportive and fun atmosphere is guaranteed!

The course fee of £70 includes all training, training materials and lunch on both days.

Following the success of last year's event, we anticipate high demand for this academy. Tickets are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Your booking is not confirmed until payment is received.

This event is open to JCI members only. Your membership will be checked once registration is received. We will contact you if there is an issue with the status of your membership.

If you have any questions, please contact JCI UK Deputy National President, Sarah Beckwith: sarah.beckwith@jciuk.org.uk
