Public speaking

Rehearse the part of the talk you cannot script.

You can practice slides alone. What you cannot practice alone is the question from the back of the room, the interruption halfway through or the moment you notice people losing interest. That is what this is for.

What makes speaking hard

  • Unexpected questions

    A sharp question can undo a well-prepared talk if the answer wanders.

  • Too much detail

    Speakers who know a topic well often bury the main point under context.

  • Nerves under pressure

    Speaking out loud to a reacting listener feels different from reading notes.

What you can practice

  • Your opening

    Say the first two minutes out loud and hear whether the main point comes through.

  • Q&A

    Face a listener who asks follow-ups, challenges numbers and asks what it means for them.

  • Short updates

    A status update to leadership, a team announcement, a toast. Short formats where every sentence counts.

An audience with its own agenda

The listener is not a neutral mirror. It may be a skeptical executive, a technical expert looking for weak spots or a colleague who only wants to know how the change affects them. Their real concern comes out as the questions go on.

What the feedback looks at

Whether your main message was clear and stated early, how directly you answered questions, where you went off topic and how you handled a challenge. The report quotes your own sentences, so you know exactly what to tighten.
