The Challenge

You know that the information, product, or service you offer is valuable.

When you talk about your information, product or service, clients and customers don't purchase or buy.

The Deep Fear

Speaking in public is one of the most common phobias.

Being seen can be very frightening – especially if we carry a personal story of having been silenced.

Why things aren't working

Fear is overwhelming Lack of clarity on your audience or your

message Lack of connection between your words,

your body, and your intention

The Ugly Truth

Your ideas, products, services, and words aren't enough

Appearances Matter How you stand How you use your voice How you manage your fears

Dealing with Fear

Fear doesn't go away. You need a system for managing it.

Practice

Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can

have some conversation.

3 Keys of Effective Public Speaking

Know Your Message Stand strong Connect your intention and your words

Know Your Message

It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech

.

Mark Twain

Stand Strong

To speak strongly, your body must be a strong foundation.

If your body is not fully behind your message, your audience won't find strength in your words.

This doesn't mean you need to be healthy. It means you need to be present.
