There’s a reason that people find public speaking scarier than death and natural disasters — between all the sweating, the shaking, the tripping over your words, and figuring out what the hell to do with your hands, it can be terrifying.

If just reading that is making you a little sick to your stomach, you could probably benefit from a few lessons in great public speaking. So can most people. Being able to speak confidently and make a powerful presentation can help you both personally and professionally, no matter what you do for a living. Business Career Coaching knows that, which is why they’ve put together their Complete Presentation and Public Speaking Course.

The 16-hour course takes you from the beginning to the end of a great speech, starting with writing it. You’ll learn how to structure a speech and figure out what to include in it, how to identify the end goal of your speech, and even how to create powerful slides. The course also includes 25 presentation guides and 50 slide templates to get you started.

From there, you’ll move on to actually giving the speech — minus the sweating and shaking, of course. The course will help you master body language, tone, speed, how to use pauses, and even the fine art of answering questions from your audience. It’ll teach you what to wear and eat before the speech and how to get in the ideal state of mind, too. Along the way, you’ll work on journaling, presentation exercises, and quizzes that will help you get prepared and feel confident.

And the best news? This course usually goes for $200, but the Mashable Shop has it for just $19 right now.
