I have not only been involved as a contract speaker persuading audiences to buy into my ideas but a certified presentation of public peaking trainer. I have helped many people get rid their public speaking fears and become more confident and effective speakers. When they leave the Public Speaking Workshop they will have learned new skills and confidence that they will be able to use for life.
So why do some people that have issues with speaking in front of audiences and really need the one time public speaking training have an issue with committing to learning a skill and confidence builder that they will have for life? As much as they need and want the training they are shy to invest a few hundred dollars in a training that will literally last them a lifetime. It almost sounds too good to be true that one public speaking workshop or presentation skills training class will rid them of their public speaking fear or develop their presentation skills to the point where the can be successful in persuading audiences. The truth is that 99percent of people that attend a public speaking workshop (at least the ones I have been involved in) will become better and fearless communicators.
If you had a certain physical illness and you knew of a cure that would make you healthy and functional again you would probably get your money together and race down to the clinic and get it remedied. Well let’s just say that you have been afflicted with public speaking fear which has been a mental handicap that is preventing you from performing in front of audiences which you would normally be able to do if you did not have that affliction correct? Yes this is a similar scenario (not life threatening) but none the less debilitating. The cure in this case would be to rid yourself of this mind debilitating mental block by attending a public speaking workshop to fix this issue for life!
A good public speaking workshop will help you accomplish the things you will through actual class participation and exercises that are designed to help you become a fearless and effective speaker. Specifically the public speaking workshop will include simple exercises and tips of how to overcome nervousness. Know your audience - It’s important that you be clear and honest with yourself about whom you will be speaking to and what they are expecting. How to build rapport and how the audience will benefit from your talk. How to organize your thoughts and create a well designed presentation- one of the reasons for lack of confidence is that most people are not confident with their material. Knowing how you close your presentation is very important. What do you want your audience to do or think about when as you close out your presentation. How do you test audience buy in before you close your public speaking presentation?
So as you can see the one - time cost of a public speaking workshop will provide you with tremendous value that will last you with a lifetime providing you with successful presentation skills.
