Join PYP’s Public Speaking Workshop led by Sheila Hyland, co-founder and executive communications coach of Foster Hyland & Associates. Whether you’re fearful of public speaking or want to sharpen your presentation skills, this workshop is for you! You’ll gain confidence in your abilities to communicate with any audience and learn practical skills you can put to use right away.
- Tips include:
- The one thing an audience will not forgive!
