Public Speaking for Results
In this two-day public speaking training, participants learn how to define their desired outcomes for the talk, develop a clear, arresting message, and gain greater confidence and expressiveness to ensure that they connect with their listeners.
Public Speaking Training
This public speaking training teaches participants how to think about speaking and how to speak about their thinking. It is fun, interactive, and transforming.
Participants prepare short talks on simple topics, explore the use of time-tested templates for organizing their content, receive feedback from peers and instructors, see themselves on tape at least six times, and strengthen their confidence and skill for public speaking opportunities.

Our Public Speaking Skills Training Uses Diverse Training Materials
As with our other programs, we interview participants before the public speaking workshop to learn their needs, interests and concerns. We then prepare a curriculum and suitable materials.
Participants in our public speaking training receive a workbook customized for their company and their particular needs, well-stocked with tips, tools, strategies, and inherited wisdom on the art and science of public speaking.
At the end of the public speaking workshop, each participant receives a personalized video CD, a record of all the exercises they did in the program and an excellent resource for further self-study.
Furthermore, they receive tools and templates to help guide their thinking and structure their presentations so that they are concise, clear, and persuasive.
After the public speaking training, they receive detailed personal assessments from their instructors and access to our library and archive of useful tools for speakers.

We also Provide Executive Public Speaking Coach Services
In addition to our group public speaking skills training, we also provide executive public speaking coach services to individuals whose standing in the company warrants the personal attention.
These public speaking coach engagements generally occur over a period of several months in which we work together with the executive on a particular talk or on a series of talks. The repetition enables us to train the individual in our approach, and to build new more effective habits.
Some examples of our public speaking coach engagements include:
- A candidate for the chairmanship of a global consulting firm
- A VP of marketing for a global telecom brand
- Members of a brand team who were launching a new product
