Do you worry about public speaking?

When you speak in meetings, conferences, or interviews – large and small – do you sometimes feel:

• Anxious about making a good impression?
• Worried about having to contribute on the spot?
• Lacking confidence in your ideas and abilities?

You're not alone!

“Few of us are born with public speaking skills – but you can easily learn and master techniques to boost your confidence, be a better leader, develop your career and create more impact – and you don’t need to be a super extrovert to do it!” - Tara Phillips | Cause & Affect Speeches & TEDx Speaker Coach

Why is Public Speaking Important In Your Career?

Within conservation, there is a growing realization that we need to do much more to share our messages and encourage more support and action. As a result, conservation employers are rapidly looking for people with public speaking skills.

They want staff who can speak with confidence and clarity at meetings, conferences, events, and more.

We analyzed 35,857 conservation jobs, from over 100 countries, and 39% explicitly wanted people with public speaking skills.
