Learn acting skills that will transform your tedious talk into a powerful presentation

Corporate Training Public Speaking Skills

Bring one of the following public speaking training classes to your place of business and improve the communications skills of your key people.

Acting Techniques for Dynamic Presentations
Research shows that the impact of your speech will be determined by the following factors:

• 55% by posture, gestures and eye contact
• 38% by voice tone and inflection
• Only 7% by the content of your speech

How you perform your speech will be far more important than how well it is written. But when people stand up to speak, a strange thing happens: Their voices become monotonous and their movements become wooden. Even experienced speakers lose their natural gestures and vocal tone. Traditional methods of teaching public speaking do not correct this problem.

This workshop offers an entirely new approach to public speaking that you will not find anywhere else. It is based on Method Acting techniques that have been adapted specifically for public speakers. For the first time you will learn techniques that work. Stop being dull, start being dynamic!

How to Write a Speech in 15 Minutes
Professional speakers have plenty of time to prepare their speeches—business people do not. You have to answer the telephone, write letters and get the rest of your day's work done while trying to squeeze in time to prepare your presentation. Most public speaking books and workshops assume that you have hours to practice and prepare, but that isn’t practical!

This is a workshop for the real world. Learn the techniques that bring success when you don't have time to spare. If you want to succeed in business, you MUST be prepared to speak effectively with very little preparation. Take charge of your destiny!
