ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., May 22, 2024 – CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, today announced the launch of its third Smarter by CNBC Make It online course, Become an Effective Communicator: Master Public Speaking.
Hosted by CNBC Make It Success Reporter Ashton Jackson, the course teaches users how to prepare what they want to say and how to say it so that the intended message is what the audience receives.
People who take the course will become experts at organizing their thoughts, defining their goals, and delivering the message in a way that lets them authentically connect with their audience. This will help anyone from a professional looking to give better presentations to someone wanting to improve their communication skills.
Psychotherapist Chamin Ajjan, speech expert and author John Bowe, and Quantified.ai CEO and Co-Founder Noah Zandan act as course instructors, providing tips on how to use data and visual aids, how to calm nerves and gain confidence, and how to use body language to build trust with the audience. The course includes 100 minutes of instructional video content, broken up into digestible lessons, as well as a workbook that offers additional exercises and examples.
"Communicating with others is one of the most important things you do every day, in your career and in your life," said Jenna Goudreau, Vice President and Executive Editor of CNBC Make It. "Yet most of us are never taught how to communicate effectively. Just the thought of speaking in front of a group is enough to break into a sweat. We want to change that by teaching practical, actionable skills to help you achieve your goals."
Smarter by CNBC Make It courses offer expert-led instructions, actionable insights and comprehensive curricula that help users boost their career. To learn more about the latest course as well as others available in the Smarter by CNBC Make It portfolio, go to smarter.cnbcmakeit.com.
