Rostrum Victoria
Do you want to be a confident public speaker? Do you want to chair meetings with confidence? Rostrum Victoria might be just what you are looking for. Our members actively help each other develop better communication skills.
At Rostrum you can develop the ability and confidence to:
- Lead discussions
- Address audiences
- Chair meetings
- Interview and be interviewed
- Deliver presentations with impact
- Express yourself effectively in a work team or committee
And it all happens in a friendly and supportive atmosphere at a modest cost.
Our program consists of three key elements:
| Tuition | Training exercises are designed to target key areas that improve your speaking technique and delivery. |
| Practice | You learn and practice new skills, gaining confidence and experience. |
| Coaching | The club coach (some clubs call this the club critic) will provide personal advice and identify areas for you to target to improve your skills. |
