Imagine feeling empowered and confident instead of nervous and anxious when it comes to speaking in meetings, presenting to colleagues, or pitching to potential clients.
Being able to connect with an audience and express yourself with confidence and clarity is one of the most effective ways of achieving better results in your career and business. Very few people are natural public speakers but it is a skill that can be mastered when equipped with the right knowledge and some encouragement.
As the ‘Bootcamp’ name suggests, we pack a lot of interactive learning into this immersive one-day training event. You will learn a lot about yourself as well as the art and science of effective communication. You are certain to go away with plenty of new-found knowledge and skills that you can apply and practice to improve your public speaking ability…and your results.
WHAT’S COVERED
To start the day, as a group we will explore our challenges with public speaking to help identify existing strengths and key areas for improvement for each participant.
We will then cover:
- How to manage your body’s response and your mindset to manage public speaking nerves
- Effective use of face, voice, body, and location on stage
- Handling impromptu speaking with the use of ‘mini structures’ to organise your thoughts
- The science behind effective communication and a model you can use to ‘self-evaluate’ your progress
- Designing three types of prepared presentation – persuasive, informative, inspiring
