‘Maryanne said on day one that presenting in front of 500 people would be like learning to drive a car – once you’ve learnt the skills, it will just happen without even thinking about it. And that’s how I felt walking out on stage, following a very enjoyable course – led by an expert in confidently getting your message across when speaking in public.
I learned how to feel excited about talking in front of a large audience, as opposed to feeling nervous. And also how to confidently pitch in a way that would resonate with the audience members.’
