20.01.2022 Public Speaking Tips It may sound obvious but being prepared is one of the best things you can do when you have a speech to present. Being prepared will help you with your nerves and allow you to have a well-structured speech (as well as many other benefits!)... Come along to one of our meetings and learn how to present like a champion! #uppercoomeratoastmasters #toastmasters #leaders #publicspeaking
