I’ve learned strategies for managing anxiety, preparing effectively, and engaging with an audience, which makes me less uncomfortable about future presentations. One of the most important things I’ll take away from this course is the understanding that effective communication is not just about speaking clearly. It’s about connecting with your audience in a meaningful way. Before taking this class, I thought public speaking was mostly about memorizing and delivering lines without mistakes. I’ve learned how to organize my thoughts, use vocal variety and body language to emphasize points, and maintain eye contact to build trust

There is power in intentionality! I used to think that mapping gestures, breathing, etc. wasn't super helpful for me because I would think about hitting those marks more than I would about getting the message across. However, now after practicing, I realize that it has helped me so much and made my speeches a lot more effective.

Now, after the coursework, I’m much more comfortable and confident in my ability to deliver presentations, even if I’m called upon unexpectedly, just by remembering the little tips and details that were taught.
