Why We are Different
Many public speaking trainings teach you how to alleviate nervous energy or design better visual presentation aids.
Our training leverages your entrepreneurial mindset.
How can you design and deliver a presentation that positions you, your team, and your company as THE answer while communicating to your audience that you understand their challenges, goals, and need for solutions?
We will teach you how to build authentic relationships during the presentation, navigate your nervous energy, and deliver powerful presentations that will leave your audience engaged and confident about your influence.
Course Description
As a professional, you understand the power associated with speaking in front of an audience and sharing your knowledge and expertise.
But you lose that confidence when you’re called to the front of the room to speak.
You clam up and feel like you don’t have what it takes to deliver a clear message that persuades your team to act. Or, you pass up speaking opportunities that could easily position you as a leader because you aren’t sure how to influence an audience.
This fear ends today.
If you are ready to enhance your public speaking skills so that you can build more engaging relationships with small groups, lead training programs, facilitate meetings, or organize your own events, this program is for you. Through five modules, you will discover how to effectively push beyond your anxiety and deliver messages leaving your audience motivated to work.
