Speaking in public can be a challenge.

It doesn't even have to be a keynote speech or presenting your Masters Dissertation. Managing a meeting, reporting on quarterly numbers or even interview, all of these are opportunities to show the best of ourselves.

In STEM we have an added challenge. How can we talk about technical concepts with an audience that does not have the necessary background? What is the best way to communicate information that is both extensive and detailed?

Leading and managing people, even moreso.

What you say and how you say is just part of the equation. The other is how your recepient wil understand and act upon your message. How will they react? Did they really understand your expectations? How can you deal with all those unknowns?

But, aren't people just born good speakers and good leader?

Most humans learn to speak during childhood, but very few learn to communicate. Listeting to and undestanding your audience, packaging your message to fit them, interacting with them and their work. All of these are skills that can be learned and practiced.

This is where Level Up Speech can help you.
