Course Syllabus
Most people would rather do almost anything than speak in front of a group. Surveys consistently rank public speaking among the top human fears, sometimes above death itself. Yet the ability to communicate ideas clearly to a room full of people is one of the most valuable skills in any career.
The gap between terrified speaker and confident communicator isn’t talent. It’s technique and practice. The best speakers in the world still get nervous. They’ve simply learned what to do with that nervous energy.
AI changes the equation by giving you a tireless practice partner, an honest speech editor, and a simulated audience that can throw tough questions at you any time of day. This course teaches you to use those tools to build genuine speaking confidence, one lesson at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
I get extremely nervous speaking in front of people. Will this help?
Absolutely. Lesson 2 specifically addresses the science of speaking anxiety and teaches evidence-based techniques to manage it. Most great speakers still feel nervous—they've simply learned to channel that energy productively.
Do I need to be giving formal speeches to benefit?
No. These skills apply to any situation where you speak to a group: team meetings, project updates, client presentations, conference talks, toasts at weddings, or community events. If you talk to more than one person, this course helps.
How does AI help with public speaking?
AI serves as your always-available practice audience, speech editor, and feedback coach. It can simulate tough Q&A, critique your speech structure, suggest stronger openings, and help you rehearse until your delivery feels natural.
Can I complete this course without actually speaking out loud?
You can learn the concepts without speaking, but the real growth comes from practice. We strongly encourage you to speak your speeches aloud, even if just to your phone or mirror. The exercises are designed to build confidence gradually.
