Public speaking, a skill that transcends the barriers of profession and daily life, can be an exciting yet daunting challenge.
Whether it’s for work presentations, academic interventions, or effective communication in everyday situations, the ability to express oneself with confidence and persuasion is invaluable.
However, for many, stage fright and anxiety can pose significant obstacles.
The Autonomous University of Barcelona presents an exceptional opportunity to overcome these barriers and develop oratory skills with two completely free online courses.
These courses not only provide the essential knowledge for effective public speaking but also offer valuable tools to enhance the persuasion and impact of your messages.
