Course Details

Our ideas, no matter how great they are, live in a vacuum until we communicate them effectively to others. When you have a pitch or presentation to deliver, a class to teach, a conference call to lead, or an interview for a job, you want to feel confident that you can pull it off with credibility and persuasion.

The principles of extraordinary communication and speaking are the same for all these situations. In a lively, interactive environment, you will learn how to apply them as you practice the public speaking skills that have you on your feet, organizing your ideas and projecting all the passion and power of your personality with enthusiasm, confidence, and sincerity.

By the end of this seminar, you can expect to have:
Two speeches—a brief job related talk, and a more well-developed personal and entertaining story which you will take through two practice levels.

In this class, you can expect to learn:

• How to apply the 6 characteristics that distinguish the masters of extraordinary communication and speaking
• The right questions to ask before you begin preparing your presentation
• A simple system for preparing, rehearsing, and delivering effective presentations
• How to make the most of your body language and voice
• Techniques for connecting with your audience's 3 listening styles
