Learn to give public speeches without the aid of notes. The benefits of this include, and are not limited to: more confidence in giving a speech; audience eye contact during a speech; quick recall when distracted during a speech; and more flexibility to adjust the speech content during the speech. Students will learn the method of Loci, an ancient method originally used by the Greeks for memorizing long speeches. This method substitutes images for the words, concepts, and themes of the speech, and then places them in various memory locations in your brain for later recall. This is a proven method and very easy to learn.
