Communication and public speaking

Use communication to build strong relationships at work (and beyond),
express yourself with clarity, and speak with confidence when it counts.

The courses Effective Communication & Relationships and Public Speaking cover two complementary aspects of communication: daily interpersonal relations and the ability to speak in public. We chose to offer them together because they help people improve their clarity, confidence, and listening skills in every setting, from informal meetings to strategic presentations.

Communicate with confidence, clarity, and impact: every word matters.

In ancient Greek theatres, public speaking was not just performance, it was power, persuasion, and presence.
That legacy still shapes how we speak, connect, and lead today.
