What could you achieve if you could express your ideas with greater clarity, confidence, and impact? This course gives you the tools to do exactly that.
Immerse yourself in a guided introduction to the principles and practice of effective speaking from an Objectivist perspective. Taught by Yaron Brook—host of The Yaron Brook Show, ARI chairman of the board and former executive director, and co-author of Free Market Revolution and Equal Is Unfair—this course offers a rare opportunity to learn from one of today’s most dynamic and thoughtful communicators of Ayn Rand’s philosophy.
You’ll study essential principles of clear, purposeful communication and apply them by giving short talks on intellectual topics. You’ll receive in-depth instructor feedback designed to help you sharpen your thinking, refine your delivery, and strengthen your ability to present ideas with precision and conviction.
Whether your goal is to elevate your professional communication, improve your teaching, or simply become a more articulate advocate for your values, this course will help you build the skills to get your ideas across with clarity and impact.
