Part 2/2: Speak Up! and Make Your Content Land
Do you have great ideas, but don’t know how to articulate and “sell” them? Do you aspire to be a speaker, but lack the confidence to put yourself out there? Whether you are casually speaking to your team, sharing an idea with the CEO in the elevator, pitching to a prospective client, or addressing an audience of a hundred people or more, speaking with confidence and communicating with impact are the skills you need.
This engaging, experiential workshop will help you sharpen your presentation skills to become an adept communicator. You'll learn to better understand what your audience (of one or many) needs so you can best articulate your point and land your content. You'll also learn to recognize, own, and express your passionate expertise, and start to shift public speaking from something to be dreaded into an enjoyable experience.
Participants will learn:
- Tips for banishing your Inner Critic to manage the fears that trip you up and hold you back
- How to distill your communication into the essential messages
- Connecting with the audience through storytelling
- Matching body language and voice tonality to your message and audience
- Active listening
- Preparing for and dealing with the unexpected moments with ease
