Do you shy away if asked to speak in front of a crowd? When you see fluent speakers, do you believe that it is their in-born talent? If so, it is time to change your beliefs.

If only you try, you can become an excellent public speaker at any age. It is the lack of training that holds back many from being able to speak even though they have the ideas to convey in their mind. If you are confused about how to speak confidently in any circumstance at any forum, you just have to dedicate one-and-a-half hours each for just two days.

You can participate in the online workshop on public speaking being conducted by Malayala Manorama’s education portal Manorama Horizon on June 3 and 4. The classes will be from 8 pm to 9:30 pm.

Nitin Suresh, orator, quiz master and area director of Toastmasters International, will lead the classes.
