a bit easy, but a great course to get started on how to become more articulate and appreciate English literature and speeches better.
It opened my exers to the patterns and structure of effective verbal communication.
Good with Words: Speaking and Presenting
Suppose you were good with words. Suppose when you decided to speak, the message you delivered—and the way you delivered it—successfully connected with your intended audience. What would that mean for your career prospects? What would that mean for your comfort level in social situations? And perhaps most importantly, what would that mean for your satisfaction with the personal relationships you value the most? This specialization is designed to help you find out. Based on an award-winning course and workshop series at the University of Michigan that has been taken by students training to enter a wide range of fields—law, business, medicine, social work, public policy, design, engineering, and many more—it removes the guesswork from figuring out how to communicate clearly and compellingly. All of us have ideas that are worth sharing. Why not learn to convey yours in a way that people will appreciate, enjoy, and remember?

Reviewed Aug 24, 2024Course: Speaking and Presenting: PoiseI took the whole specialization. If you are trying to decide whether or not to take this course or specialization, this message is for you. It is 10x worth every penny and minute spent and it exceeded my expectations by far. Not only because education is the best investment, but because the lessons learned transcend communication skills and become important life lessons. You will become a better communicator and learn much more than you expected while also probably having some fun with the content and assignments.
