1 Share of the public speaking coach role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the corporate trainer profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A public speaking coach role treats 7 of its required skills as things a corporate trainer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to target group
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • demonstrate when teaching
  • give constructive feedback
  • provide feedback to performers

What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A public speaking coach role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a corporate trainer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held teach public speaking principles communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held provide feedback to performers communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held promote education course communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adapt teaching to target group communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adult education education
  • already held adapt training to labour market information skills

All 13 carried skills, including the 7 the public speaking coach role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 19 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

The 3 entries a public speaking coach role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

7 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
