ABSTRAK
Komunikasi memiliki peran yang integral dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat, mencakup interaksi dengan lingkungan sekitar, penyampaian pesan, dan ekspresi emosi, bahkan mampu mengembangkan potensi individu. Salah satu aspek penting dari komunikasi publik adalah kemampuan public speaking, terutama karena berbicara di depan umum sering menjadi ketakutan umum di masyarakat. Selain hanya sekadar berbicara, public speaking juga mencakup kemampuan untuk menyampaikan pesan yang menghibur, informatif, menarik, dan memiliki dampak positif pada pendengarnya. Sebagai mitra, SMA Santo Yakobus memiliki keinginan agar siswanya selalu mendapatkan pendidikan terbaik untuk menghadapi perkembangan dan tantangan zaman. Berdasarkan analisis situasi, kebutuhan esensial generasi muda adalah keterampilan komunikasi publik, khususnya public speaking. Keahlian public speaking memungkinkan siswa untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan diri, membangun hubungan, menyampaikan ide dengan baik, dan menjadi sosok yang berpengaruh secara positif. Oleh karena itu, tim PKM bertujuan untuk menyelenggarakan pelatihan public speaking lanjutan guna kembali meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi publik siswa SMA Santo Yakobus. Metode seminar dipilih sebagai metode pelatihan yang paling efektif, di mana diskusi dengan siswa dapat dilakukan dan diakhiri dengan sesi praktik public speaking. Hasil dari penelitian ini akan diabadikan dalam bentuk prosiding pada temu ilmiah, dengan tambahan luaran berupa pencatatan Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (HKI). Seminar public speaking di SMA Santo Yakobus berhasil meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterampilan siswa secara signifikan, terbukti dari peningkatan skor rata-rata pada seluruh aspek yang diukur melalui kuesioner. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan materi, diskusi, dan latihan praktis yang digunakan dalam seminar efektif dalam membekali siswa dengan kemampuan public speaking yang lebih baik.
