Our public speaking courses help students develop strong oral communication skills by learning how to organize their thoughts and speak clearly to be understood. Through guided instruction and practice, students build confidence, improve presentation skills, and gain the tools they need to participate in class discussions and speak with confidence in academic and social settings.
Students who study public speaking and oral communication through The Olson Method learn how to communicate clearly and be understood. Organization and keeping the listener’s experience in mind are cornerstones of this approach when students are developing ideas, speaking in class, and building effective communication skills.
This method does not teach or promote writing speeches. Instead, it focuses on speech development through keynote organizational outlines, helping students organize their thoughts and speak with confidence rather than rely on memorization or scripted writing.
Through practice and guided instruction, students strengthen listening skills, critical thinking, and presentation skills for students. As their skills develop, many students begin overcoming shyness and gain confidence speaking in class and in public settings.
