We'll focus on practical skills and simple exercises, including:

- Speech writing - crafting a speech with minimal preparation time
- Speaking off the cuff - applying techniques in impromptu speaking situations
- Giving feedback in a constructive and positive manner
- Delivery approaches using voice and body language
