“I had a great experience and learned a lot at Herman’s speaking class. The class consisted of a group of 5 which allowed us plenty of practice for public speaking. Herman provided us with a plethora of tips and tricks on how to master the art of public speaking. This class is a must! I definitely recommend this class and I am willing to go again in the future. Thanks Herman!”

The art of public speaking
The art of public speaking: this is not a commonly used phrase for nothing. Public speaking is indeed an art form. A good storyteller can draw an audience into a story and ensure that the message lands well. The great thing about the art of public speaking is that anyone can learn it. like all skills, you get better at this the more you practice.
The art of public speaking: different styles
Before you can practice the art of public speaking, you would of course also want to know what you can do to involve an audience in your story. What are the do’s and don’ts of public speaking? Our public speaking group class is intended for this purpose. In the class you will receive various exercises that help you to gain insight into the art of public speaking and to know how you can present yourself. Every person is different and has different pitfalls to watch out for and assets that can be used during a presentation. There is no one good way of presenting. everyone can develop their own presentation style.
“Really liked it! Herman keeps it practical (no vague things), gives everyone plenty of opportunities to practice and knows how to get everyone out of his / her comfort zone to get the most out of the training. I already notice a difference in how I stand in front of groups!”
