Public Speaking Coaching For All Occasions
Your Speach
1. The Speaking Audit & Overhaul
Your Speech
Great, you’ve already got your speech ready. Time for a little polishing. We are going to be your test audience and help you work out the kinks.
Timing
If you are nervous you are probably going to talk to fast. You don’t want to turn a 30 minute talk into a 7 minute talk. If you are shy you may talk too slow. You don’t want people falling asleep during your presentation. We will help you find your groove.
Connecting with the audience
Who are you speaking to? Is it everyone or is it Mrs. Johnson in the third row. This can be hard enough to master with a live audience, but add Zoom and Teams calls into the mix and some of the visual clues are a little harder to master. We will help you with either type of audience.
Visuals
Unless you are giving a commencement address, a wedding toast, or a eulogy, you are probably going to have slides. We want you to have the right number of slides for the time you are speaking.
Coaching
2. 1on1 Coaching!
Your Speech
We want you to be comfortable with your speech. It shouldn’t come across as a script. It should be heart felt and feel unrehersed. We will help you get to where you want to be.
Projecting Your Voice
If you aren’t used to speaking in front of an audience, you may not know how your voice sounds in different parts of the room. You don’t want to sound like your screaming, and you don’t want people straining to hear you. We will help you get comfortable speaking in any room.
Microphones and Cameras
Even people who are comfortable speaking in front of a group of people may find themselves awkward and uncomfortable in front of a microphone or camera. Knowing how you look and sound is a whole new skill.
Nervousness
It’s natural to be nervous when you are giving a speech. You just don’t want to look it. Nothing is worse than hyperventilating and looking like you ran a marathon in your suit. We will work with you to get you more comfortable.
Training
3. Group Sessions
Professional Development
Speaking is a great business skill that can benefit anyone. It can be a great team building opportunity too. Group sessions can improve speaking skills and build confidence.
Preparing for Panels
Being on a panel can be a different type of public speaking. Sometimes it might have policy or public relations implications. We can help you reherse questions you might receive and the best way to answer.
Sharing Ideas
Teams can be intimidating for a lot of people. Some people won’t engage because they are uncomfortable sharing their ideas. We can create exercises that make the process less intimidating and allow your team to share ideas more fluidly.
Mastermind
The Mastermind is a concept from Think and Grow Rich. The basic premise involves the collaboration of individuals to create more than what each might accomplish separately. We can help you organize a mastermind with your peers to further all of your efforts.
