Participants will also learn how to improve verbal communication skills for presentations, negotiations and more.

In addition, participants will get access to the InStage Virtual Reality Platform which will let them practice English speaking skills through virtual reality simulations, so they can practice in the comfort of their own home and see their progress on avoiding filter words, minding the number of pauses they have while speaking and much more.
