Overview of the webinar

What are powerful speaking skills? It’s not how loud you are or how much information, slides or charts you present. Rather it’s how quickly you can engage the audience; keep their interest throughout your presentation; and most importantly, be able to communicate important ideas, positions, or viewpoints in a way that your message, not only informs, but also motivates and influences people to take action.

However, powerful speaking skills do not come naturally to most people. And, even gifted speakers, follow a formula or roadmap: It’s called the “Five S’s” for Success.” These 5 speaking factors are essential for delivering impactful, insightful, and informative presentations. 

  • Strategy: Understand your audience, who they are, what they need, what’s important to them.
  • Structure: Prepare your content: Title, introduction, evidence, stories, summary, ending.
  • Style: Deliver the content: Focus, body language, energy, word choice, pace.
  • Spark: Quickly build rapport, credibility, enthusiasm with the audience. 
  • Self Confidence: Project calmness, competence, and command.

This webinar specifically designed for executives, managers, and human resource professionals will focus on each of these “Five S’s” as well as provide practical and innovative speaking techniques that will help the anxious beginner, who wants to be the best presenter they can be, as well as the more experienced, who wants to gain some new tips to incorporate in their future presentations.

Why should you attend?

Being able to deliver an effective presentation or speech is a critical leadership skill to be successful in today’s workplace. It could be speaking to a large group of peers or employees; or addressing a major client or prospect; or even influencing senior management to fund a project; or some other situation that can impact your credibility as an effective manager or leader. While hard work and good ideas are essential to success, the ability to communicate those ideas as well as influence others to respond positively is even more important.

If giving presentations or speeches make you nervous, you are not alone. Jerry Seinfeld tells a hilarious joke about how many of us are so terrified of public speaking that we would rather be in the casket at a funeral versus delivering the eulogy. 

The “Good News” is you can quickly develop the skills to present yourself as a speaker who is prepared, poised, and projects that you know your “stuff”. This webinar will provide you with winning tips and techniques to conquer your nervousness; or the fear that someone might stump you with a hard question; or the anxiety that you may come across as a boring speaker who puts the audience to sleep; or other challenges that are holding you back from making effective presentations. 

So instead of just talking to your audience, make sure you are both confident and skilled to stand up and deliver your presentations with calm, competence, and command!
