  Did the standard course a good many years ago. It’s actually useful - very very good practice in public speaking. At that point in history it covered all the relevant stuff including how to do the body language. I would actually recommend it. Especially if public speaking or being the centre of a lot of peoples’ attention is something that you would like to do better, or at least less stressfully.

  I’ve only known two people who’ve done it and they were both kind of wankers. Probably not a big enough sample and possibly a fault from my end. I’m comfortable with public speaking, can’t say as to how good I am tho.

    I know one person who went, also a wanker.

  Lots of senior IT people I’ve worked with (directors etc) do that stuff because they actually need to interact with other people eventually lol
