COMPETENT COMMUNICATORThe Competent Communication manual, which has 10 speech projects, is the first step in the communication track. It helps develop your speaking skills one step at a time. Every project builds upon what you learned in the preceding project. As you prepare and present each project speech you’ll learn the importance of organization, how to use body language and voice to convey your message, select the right words and use visual aids. You also learn how to speak persuasively and inspire others.
