Practical Public Speaking Course: Visual Communication, Slides, Wardrobe and Stage Presence

DO YOU KNOW THAT FEELING? You have something to say, but the words get stuck in your throat. Or, on the day of a presentation, your heart starts beating so fast that you forget what you wanted to say. Silence in meetings. Nervousness before a presentation. The feeling that others speak more confidently and fluently while you just watch from the sidelines. This happens not because you have nothing to say, but because you lack practice and a safe space in which to gain it. I invite you to a practical public speaking course in Klaipėda (Kultūros fabrikas), starting September 30.

COURSE INFORMATION
• Start: September 30
• Time: Wednesdays, 18:00–19:45 (8 sessions, once a week)
• Location: Kultūros fabrikas, Klaipėda
• Group size: An intimate group of up to 16 participants, so everyone gets to speak rather than just listen.

LECTURER: JULIJA BRODSKĖ
I have been a member and president of the public speaking club “Toastmasters Klaipėda” for many years. I have conducted hundreds of individual consultations and group training sessions. I have helped clients prepare for important conferences and startup pitches, manage their nerves, and regain their confidence.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
• To speak in meetings without fear and express your opinions clearly;
• To organise your thoughts quickly, even without preparation;
• To use body language and your voice so that you appear and sound convincing;
• To feel confident in front of any audience—from a work presentation to a celebratory speech.

REAL CHANGE, NOT JUST ANOTHER “TRAINING COURSE”
My aim is not to overwhelm you with dry theory or a stack of slides that you will forget as soon as you walk out the door. I want to create a space where you can truly break through: overcome your inner barrier, feel the weight of your voice, and discover your own authentic speaking style. We will not analyse public speaking from textbooks here—we will get practical from the very first minute. Each week, you will take a solid step forward, until nervousness transforms from paralysing fear into driving energy that helps you capture your audience’s attention and trust.

WHY A GROUP? Because courage is born not in theory, but in p
