Skilled Speaking
Without Freaking
Public speaking is feared more than death by most, yet professional
presentations are a fact of work life that impact growth and speak
volumes about the quality of an organization’s staff, products and
reputation.
Skilled Speaking Without Freaking
seminars train new and experienced speakers on two essential and
parallel tracks: developing skills that facilitate identified
presentation goals and
reducing performance-related anxiety that impairs the messenger and the
message. From the program’s
opening curtain to final remarks, seminar participants learn valuable
content development and delivery options, and then work solo and in
teams to apply speaking and stress control skills during practice
presentations on self-selected topics that can include an upcoming talk.
Each participant receives live and recorded presentation
feedback.
