UCLA Extension Adds Public Speaking

Communications specialist DeBorah B. Pryor brings her popular workshop: Public Speaking for the Private Person to UCLA Extension this summer.

Since 2005, this unique workshop – which combines training in communication and leadership development – has been presented to working professionals and others who have struggled with a variety of communications issues including fear of speaking in front of groups, anxiety about job interviews or meetings with the boss; inability to adequately construct an argument of defense in professional situations and the inability to compose effective business correspondence.

UCLA Extension is world renowned for its innovative courses, real-life-experienced instructors and longstanding commitment to extended learning that meets the growing needs of working adults.

Pryor, an established journalist whose 25 year career in communications includes acting, radio hosting and journalism, created her workshop after working in the corporate arena, “There was no training available for some of our most useful forms of daily communication. There is a lot to do before you reach the podium; and once these fundamental, day-to-day communications issues are addressed and surmounted, the podium will be less intimidating.â€

Public Speaking for the Private Person will be offered during the UCLA Extension Summer session on Saturday, July 30 from 9:00am – 4:00pm. Discounts will be available to those who enroll before July 1.
