A one-day speaking and presentation skills workshop for anyone in a leadership position who must influence others to think, feel or do something differently (or better).

In this dynamic program, leaders learn how to speak not only to inform others, but to inspire them! Presentation content and speaker style are explored in depth. Participants learn how to incorporate story telling, use humor and authenticity to build the likeability factor, how to create a dynamic opening and closing, how to develop a presentation theme, as well as how to create word pictures and visual images for audience understanding and content retention. Famous speakers are analyzed for effective techniques to adopt. Basic-intermediate presentation skills are a prerequisite to this workshop.
