Owning Your Voice: Breaking Up with the Fear of Public Speaking
Whether we like it or not, public speaking is a crucial career skill for the classroom or board room and overcoming that fear can set you apart from everyone else. Jasmine knows—from her undergraduate degree, working with one of the largest media companies in the country, and now as a professional speaker, she has developed a proven mindset and strategy to ensure her voice never gets silenced by fear.
She is ready to help you own your voice, embolden your message, and prepare to be heard!
Students Will:
- Consider the importance of public speaking and its application in any career field.
- Discuss how to craft content for any audience using a proven, three-step method.
- Apply simple strategies to improve their speaking skills, such as how to stop using “like” or “um.”
Just a Little Spark: This is Not a Drill
Students are struggling. They’re feeling anxious. Uncertain. Overwhelmed. Lonely. But they often don’t consider seeking mental health support until they’ve reached their limit.
Why don’t we intervene before it feels like our entire world is on fire? Because the challenges we face may start off as just a little spark. Yet the little sparks in our lives can quickly ignite – and suddenly our mental health feels like a blazing inferno.
Jasmine knows from personal experience that there’s no one-size-fits all approach when it comes to improving your mental health. But she’s offering students something she didn’t have: a back up plan.
Her empowering program provides students with the tools to build an effective mental health action plan tailored to their own unique needs. As active participants in the development of their plans, students also learn to become their own advocates.
We know that the best time to prepare for a crisis is not when it’s occurring. This program offers strategies and resources students can utilize to proactively take care of their mental health. Whether they face a minor frustration or a life-changing event, their mental health action plan is on standby whenever they need it.
Students Will:
- Practice positive, affirmative, help-seeking behavior
- Develop a personalized plan to prepare for potential mental health crises
- Investigate some of the most common feelings related to mental health and well-being for college students.
