Speaking to Influence Workshop - October 1-2, 2009 - Clearwater Casino and Resort

• Do you find that the audience you are presenting to is not even listening?
• Want to be so dynamic that your clients beg you to come back?
• Do your presentations affect your bottom line?
• Do your presentations hurt or enhance your reputation?

If you are you a consultant, educator, celebrity speaker, politician, non-profit executive, manager, or business owner – you ARE a professional speaker. The problem is that you may not invest enough time improving your presentation skills to match your professional skills. Worse than that, if you are practicing but it’s the wrong thing, you will be reinforcing bad habits and getting better at getting worse faster.

Maybe the better questions you should ask yourself are:

• How good are you?
• Are you ready to improve?
• How do you feel when you’re watching yourself on video?
• What could improving your confidence and skills mean to your causes and bottom line?

Enthusiasm should not be confused with competence

Maybe you’re not nervous. That doesn’t equal that your audience loved to listen or even got your message.

If you don’t make the same investment in your presentation skills as you do the rest of your profession, you may never make the type of meaningful impact you could. That means less money, less opportunities, and less personal growth.

“What’s been most important for me in my business is standing up with confidence and speaking.  It made me excited again about different aspects of my business.  It gave me time to analyze and improve my business, and to write and speak more clearly.  It was a huge opportunity.”

Brenda Prowse, Owner of Prowse Realty

“I found the workshop to be a great experience to help other scientists to reach outside their science bubble to help society connect with our sector.   This experience helped me to focus on my speaking skills and message I want to deliver to my audience.   It taught me to structure my presentations so I can teach my fellow scientists to do the same.”
