Speaking for Results

Individual Goal Setting

We begin by looking at your current public speaking responsibilities, the types of information you are asked to deliver, and what makes each setting different and challenging. We will identify specific skills each individual would like to work on.

Platform Skills

We will work on how to manage nervous energy in order to appear natural in front of any audience. We will identify key physical behaviors that will allow you to project your information to stay true to your personality and deliver information confidently.

Audience Analysis and Organizing Information

We will develop materials that are of value to your internal and external customers. Then, we will show your audience that you have a plan and how well prepared you are — separating “nice to know” from “need to know” information. We will work on weaving your expertise and information into a format that demonstrates you are a clear thinker. We will then show why it is to your customers’ advantage to adopt your recommendation, or do business with you.

Delivery with Visuals

Whether using slides, overheads, charts, or chalk-talk, you want to appear that you are tracking with your audience. We’ll work on skills that allow you to crisply manage the flow of information and make sure that your audience “gets it.”

Dialogue Control Skills

Interaction with your audience is certainly desired. Anticipation and preparing for their questions is a must. We will work on how to manage the dialogue — balancing courtesy and control — so your answers are accurate and responsive and you keep the discussion on topic and the audience engaged.
