Officers of the Philippine Navy, the naval warfare service branch of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and one of the country’s three uniformed services, get trained by TalkShop in Public Speaking and Power Presentation.
While typical military officers will not bat an eye when deployed to dangerous missions, a good number of them will cringe when tasked to deliver a speech. At the same time, as military leaders progress up through the ranks, the demand for language proficiency becomes more pronounced. Thus, the Naval Education and Training Command , the Philippine Navy’s institution of learning, has tapped the expertise of TalkShop, with Ms. Sheila Viesca as lead proctor to enhance the communication confidence, audience credibility, and authoritative eloquence of our men in uniform.
Read on to get a glimpse of how the TalkShop workshop experience has further motivated our naval personnel to enhance their proficiency and pursue more communication opportunities as they progress in their naval careers.
