Frequently asked questions

Is this course effective in improving public speaking skills?

Absolutely, but your success depends on your dedication. This course is designed to guide you through each step, but your progress hinges on consistent effort and active participation. Each session you attend, every exercise you complete, contributes to building your confidence and skill. By persistently facing your fears rather than avoiding them, you'll notice remarkable improvements and accumulate valuable experiences that boost your speaking abilities.

How quickly can I expect to see improvements in my communication skills?

The rate of improvement varies for each individual and is closely linked to your level of commitment and enthusiasm. This course offers a comprehensive learning experience, but true mastery comes from patience and regular practice. Remember, in developing communication skills, slow and steady often wins the race, yielding sustainable and long-lasting results.

Will this course help me completely overcome my fear of public speaking?

The primary aim of UX Speaking Star is not to eliminate anxiety completely but to equip you with the skills to manage and harness it effectively. As you progress through the course, practicing and refining your skills, you'll find that your confidence grows, allowing you to speak effectively even with anxiety. Over time, you'll likely notice a reduction in fear as you become more comfortable and adept in various speaking situations.

How long is the course?

The course duration varies depending on your pace and engagement. However, it is structured to be completed comfortably over 5-10 weeks, if paired with weekly live sessions supplementing the video content.

Can I access the course materials after completion?

Absolutely! You will have ongoing access to the course materials even after completion, allowing you to revisit and refresh your skills as needed.

  • Wednesdays 5:30-6:30 PM Eastern Time Zone USA
