As American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson observed, "All the great speakers were bad speakers at first." But what if we reframe "bad" as "untrained," "unprepared," or simply "a work in progress"? Whether you're an uncomfortable speaker, reluctant speaker, or aiming to move from "good" to "great," this course is for you.

I'm Deborah Grayson Riegel, a professional speaker, communication consultant, and coach with three decades of experience helping leaders communicate more effectively. I've taught leadership communication at prestigious institutions like Wharton Business School, Duke’s Fuqua School of Business, Columbia Business School, and Peking University. My work has been featured in publications like Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc., and Psychology Today.
