A Powerful End to a Transformative Course
Over the course of two weeks, from 7th to 19th July, students explored the tools and mindset needed to communicate with confidence, clarity, and empathy. The program blended interactive online classes, pre-recorded masterclasses, and real-time feedback — offering participants a rare chance to learn directly from a world-renowned expert in public speaking, storytelling, and leadership communication.
Professor McCarthy, who has taught for over 25 years at Harvard and received a National Humanities Medal from President Obama, guided students through key topics.
The course concluded on Saturday 19th July, following the final online session. After a meaningful and reflective closing class, students were congratulated and received their certificates — a well-earned reward after two weeks of growth, learning, and courage.
