Public Speaking Instruction and Support
PUBLIC SPEAKING INSTRUCTION: Group, Individual, or even Content Specific (“Dealing with Media”)
All truly great speakers share a single common trait: They learned to be great by studying those that went before them. What makes them great is the depth of their desire to study and learn the basic skills that set great speakers apart. Kennedy studied the Roosevelts and Churchill. Bill Clinton studied Kennedy and Martin Luther King; Obama studies them all, including even ideological rivals like Ronald Reagan whose command of public speaking is legendary.
By focusing 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.

“I AM SCARED”, “NO WAY!, NOT ME!”, “I’D RATHER DIE!!”
Truth of the matter: Some nervousness is required as fuel for passionate public speaking. But learning to turn the “butterflies” into focused raw energy requires insight and support. A three-hour (or even six hour) “one-shot-deal” will not transform someone overnight into a golden orator. But it can be a starting point to an end result. Best of all, you will see how easily you can establish immediate rapport with your audience and forever handle your old fears and nervousness in any public speaking environment
Educational Engineers will empower you to:
Defeat your natural public speaking fears
Create a sincere rapport with your audience
Expertly turn a “speech” into a “conversation”
Use eye-contact, gestures and breath for maximum effect
Develop, organize, and design a presentation for any occasion
Effectively deliver information from the screen to your audience
Save endless hours of preparation before your next presentation
Handle and profit from tough questions
Use humor safely and effectively
We'll show you how to reduce anxiety; feel more comfortable, and become more convincing in the process. You will learn to let your natural nervousness fuel the fire of passion in your presentations. You’ll see measurable gains in better communication, enhanced personal confidence, and greater comprehension of your ideas from friends, clients and colleagues.
THE SETUP
Tailoring my professional and personal public speaking skills and abilities to meet YOUR needs is required for this series/opportunity. Eventually, the goal is public speaking in front of a larger body but an initial assessment of group or individual needs is critical. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss how best to help meet your instructional needs.
