The truth is, not many people are comfortable making presentations.  They don’t know how to stand, or where to put their hands, when to gesture or where to include a joke.  However, your spoken communication is the way that most clients and associates first see you and it’s how they remember you.

Public speaking isn’t complicated, but it does require practice.  With practice comes comfort, and finally, ease.  One-on-one presentations and interviews require many of the same skills, modified for your specific audience or location.  But it’s best not to start practicing until you know you are presenting the image you want to project; until you have eliminated any bad habits or distracting speech patterns; until you are happy with the way you appear to others.

It’s important to your business that you present the best image possible, and that you don’t obscure your message with a distracting or irritating podium presence.  Presentation coaching is painless….and extremely valuable.

•    One on one coaching, for a particular presentation or to sharpen your skills, is preferred when time is short and you have to look, sound, and feel good…this week.    Personal consultation can keep you thinking about your audience and what they see and hear.

•    Group workshops, of twenty people or less, teach skills for any presentation, formal or off-the-cuff.  Video and audio taping are tools that can help you gain confidence.  One or two day workshop formats include speaking in a small group, with feedback from those learning with you; a valuable asset for your professional image…and it never hurts to have some fun in the process.

•    “Train the trainer” sessions can ensure that you have in-house assistance whenever you need it—for that unexpected presentation.
