Who it is for
For anyone who has to speak in front of a group: a team meeting, a committee, a presentation or a convention. The method works whatever your job: at a front desk, in a workshop, at a patient's bedside, behind a screen, on a building site or at the head of a team. The module follows the preparation of a presentation to four hundred colleagues, but the exercises and the exam put you in many other situations.
