Fearless Speaking ~Powerful PresentationSkillsWorkshop Description and Outline

Saturday & SundayJune 25 & June 269:30 am – 5:00 pm

What impressions do you make when you speak spontaneously or deliver a structured presentation?

Do you compel others to listen?

Do you motivate and inspire them?

Do you influence them to follow your directives?

Do you win them as new clients for your business or succeed in getting the all important buy in for a new initiative?

Most people don’t answer all of these questions with a resounding “Yes!” Instead, they feel like the proverbial deer in the headlights and limit their careers by avoiding presentation/public speaking opportunities. Or, they plunge in headfirst and survive these experiences with high anxiety and low results.

Unless you have a clear idea as to the purpose of your presentation, your overall message as related to the needs of your audience, a structure to lay out your content, a clear call to action and the confidence and skills to deliver the presentation – you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over - at great cost to you and your company.

The good news is - people are not born knowing how to stand up and authentically deliver top-notch presentations - designing and delivering presentations is a learned skill!

In order to grow, we must, at times, tap our deepest resources to move out of our comfort zones. Therefore, it is essential to contribute to a mutually safe and receptive environment by conscientiously contributing feedback with honesty and pure generosity of spirit.

The use of video recording will be used throughout the workshop. Each participant will receive constructive critiques and will be asked to provide focused feedback to the other participants.
