Course Description
Fearless and Persuasive Speaking is the fastest and easiest way to overcome the fear of public speaking.
This
Two-day presentation seminar helps participants gain poise and confidence in front of a group - literally overnight.
The fear of talking in front of a group is still the #1 fear in America and, right or wrong, people form a perception of who we are and what we represent by the confidence that we show when we speak.
A person who can stand in front of a group, with poise and confidence, can immediately create the perception of competency. However, a person who is shy and timid in front of a group will have a tough time convincing his/her audience that he/she is capable of doing the job.
Taking this seminar will help you overcome
nervousness, get rid of the butterflies, stop the shaky hands, and eliminate the sweaty palms. This program will help you feel as comfortable presenting to a group as you are talking to a friend in the office.
Class members tell us that one reason results come fast in this seminar, is because they're actually having fun (feeling safe) while practicing, stretching, and engraining new skills.
