SIGNATURE PROGRAMS:

 

Speak with Ease and Confidence

 

In this presentation, participants will learn the important components that enable them to speak authentically with ease and confidence. While there are certain basic aspects of public speaking that are important and will be shared, what makes an individual most engaging is when they speak from the style that is natural to them.

 

The focus will be on five elements of authentic speaking:

  • Being natural/authentic – enhances the speakers’ comfort level and promotes engagement

  • Pacing – makes it easier for the listener to receive the information shared

  • Articulation – so the listener can easily understand the words that are shared, even if the speaker has an accent

  • Gestures – an aspect of authenticity that allows the message to flow and promotes engagement

  • Comfort and Ease – works best when the speaker focuses on the audience rather than self

Being aware of who you are as a speaker in each of these categories enables the speaker to speak with maximum comfort and promotes engagement in a natural way.

  • Learn fundamental aspects of authentic communication

  • Apply basic communication principles to any message delivered

The R.A.P.I.D.S Speaking System

 

This program is primarily for audiences that want to speak to gain clarity on the message they want to share and/or become a professional speaker.

​

The R.A.P.I.D. S. Speaking System is an easy to follow framework that exposes the order of development that is most effective for rapid success as a speaker. Following the process moves speakers through the development of their message and all the other necessary steps to becoming a professional speaker.

​

Many speakers do all the things that are necessary to become a speaker however they do them in the wrong order. As a result, they do not achieve the results they desire. The R.A.P.I.D.S. Speaking System not only puts things in order but also gives speakers the instruction and guidance they need.

“I don’t know where I can get this level of understanding on any program that I’ve ever been with. It’s metaphysical, psychological, ecological, spiritual, intellectual and everything else. I love it and wouldn’t miss it. It is making me a better person while making me a better speaker.”
