Enhancing Your Presentation Skills   

"In times of economic uncertainty, 

when communication skills are paramount 

to either keeping the job you have or acquiring a new one,

wouldn't it be great to have the speaking skills of Barack Obama?" 

All great speakers share a common trait: They learned to be great by studying those that went before them.  Although we are enamored by the oratory skills of public figures from time to time, none was born with the ability to persuade or inspire.

Instead, what makes them good is the depth of their desire to study and learn the basic skills that set great speakers apart. Jack Kennedy studied FDR and Churchill and put his own very human stamp on their style.  Bill Clinton studied Kennedy and Martin Luther King; Obama has studied them all, and when he shares stories from his life, you can even hear the comforting tones of Ronald Reagan.  

Speaking well is not about genes.  It is a skill, comprised of physical behaviors, learnable by anyone who cares enough to succeed.

"And now for something completely different..." - John Cleese

This is the public speaking course you’ve been searching for!  With a unique approach proven to work for over 25,000 participants worldwide since 1997, PublicSpeakingSkills' Enhancing Your Presentation Skills will completely change the way you think about the art and science of speaking to a group.  If you are like the vast majority of our 'graduates', you will emerge from the training with such a thorough understanding and grasp of the skills needed to speak like an expert that you will wonder why you have been working so hard for so long.  You will discover that its considerably easier to look and sound great than the way you're doing it now.  Believe it or not, you will actually look forward to your next presentation!      

"Quite frankly, we turn old-school presentations skills training on its head." 

Forget everything you’ve heard from your public speaking education about eye-contact, body language, and voice - it’s likely either old-school, or just plain wrong.  Now, in one very entertaining, interactive class, you will see and hear for yourself what has been imprisoning the excellent presenter inside you, and how you can finally break free of the common chains that have limited the advancement abilities of so many businesspeople for generations.  

Participants come away from this class knowing exactly why each of the behaviors they employ when speaking causes a specific physiological result, and how by modifying those behaviors, they can change the way their bodies and minds respond.  We don't use pep talks.  We don't tell you to 'imagine' that you're feeling something that you're not.  You will learn that although you can't change the way your body responds to certain stimuli, you can certainly change the behaviors that create and magnify the stimuli in the first place.  

More good news: you can also forget what they’ve always told you about “preparation, preparation, preparation”.  Who today can follow “rules” such as “For every minute you speak, spend 60 minutes preparing”?  A presentation designed and delivered with our 3-Step method never needs to be scripted or memorized.  Instead, using our proven system of public speaking that you will learn-for-life, you will have the skills to look and sound like an expert, even the first time out of the box!  At the end of the day, participants deliver a presentation they've never given before, yet look and sound like an expert doing so.  Really quite empowering!

Seeing is believing; you will learn the keys to proper public speaking today and present with them tomorrow. This intensive presentation skills workshop is engineered for those who must design and deliver important presentations for maximum results.  Our non-intimidating approach to public speaking combines peer review with professional coaching, allowing you to make real-time objective judgments, adjust your speaking techniques, develop more confidence and project truly professional presentation skills.  

"We show people how to look good, sound good, and

look confident & comfortable just being themselves."

The training focuses on the physical skills required for effective public speaking, structuring a presentation, building credibility, and using proper presentation skills to sell an idea. You will learn how to use your voice and gestures to create strong, lasting impressions.  You will gain the skills to bond with your audience, and to comfortably handle a formal speech, impromptu remarks, or a contentious press conference.   You will emerge with the skills to take control of any environment in which you've been tasked to speak, and with the incredible confidence that comes with that control.
