Whether you’re speaking virtually or in-person, to a vast auditorium or an intimate gathering, the secrets of great communication are the same. Edie Lush is here to share them with you.

Great communication is about building a strong relationship with the audience, whether across a table, from a stage or through a camera. How we communicate determines how the audience remembers us. So how can you become visible, memorable and in charge of the impact you’re making? How can you speak with personality and gravitas? How can you conquer your nerves?

Unmissable Courses presents a two-part course by award-winning journalist, former Bloomberg TV correspondent, and professional MC Edie Lush. She will take you through the techniques you need to appear confident, comfortable and engaging.

We’ll cover both how to increase your presence and make your content come alive and accessible under pressure. We’ll tackle your nerves – how to cover them up and how to master them. And we’ll cover how to make your presentations with visuals that delight the audience. You’ll walk away with some highly effective techniques that will be useful for every public speaking opportunity you’ll ever have – virtual or in-person, large or small.

This 3-week online course includes two on-demand lessons and a live Q&A session with Edie. Each lesson is released weekly according to the course schedule and can be accessed anytime for up to eight weeks after its release. The live Q&A takes place in real-time over Zoom.

The Program:

Session 1

Thursday 17th April

Raising your impact and presence

We’ll start our work together by raising awareness of how you come across under pressure.  We often think we know how we are being perceived, but the reality can be very different.  Is there anything that our listeners might find distracting or is getting in the way?  We’ll look at the specific techniques allow us to cover our nerves, increase gravitas and allow us to speak comfortably and confidently.

Session 2

Thursday 24th April

Getting your message heard & remembered

We’ll extend our gaze into content and examine how to bring your messages alive and make them concise, accessible and memorable.   Engaging content makes you engaging, personable and authoritative.  You’ll learn techniques of how to hook the audience and how to sustain their interest with your messaging as well as your visual slides.  I’ll teach you three different techniques to further manage your nerves – taught to me by neuroscientists and fighter pilots!

Thursday 1st May
