A little behind-the-scenes update 😊
I recently started teaching a college class called Public Relations: Persuasive Communication & Presentations, and I’m loving it!
We’re covering things like:
• Why some messages land and others don’t
• How persuasion actually works in PR
• Common argument mistakes to avoid
• How to speak clearly, confidently, and credibly
• Formal, informal, and impromptu presentations
• Coaching others to communicate effectively
As I prepare content for my students, I decided to share it here too, for leaders, professionals, non-profits, and everyday communication.
So for the duration of this course, I’ll be posting content as we go.
Think of it as a free PR class right here on YouTube 🎓
👉 Is there a communication or presentation topic you’d love to see covered?
