Presentation Skills Training Makes a Difference
Nearly half of all employed Americans believe presentations are critical to career success. At the same time, it is estimated that nearly 75% of Americans experience anxiety when speaking in public, and almost 50% admit to not paying attention during somebody else’s presentation.
At Speak Clear Communications, we offer a personalized, speech-specific coaching process that will help you gain confidence in your public speaking abilities, allow you to remain relaxed, speak with clarity, and make an impact with your presentation.
Working With Speak Clear
Our first step is to draw up a lesson plan based on your needs. After that we work with you to find a core message for your speech that is personal and relatable. Once we have a thesis, we can gather stories, statistics and quotes to include, and analyze your body language. Finally, we structure your speech and rehearse.
At Speak Clear Communications, it is our greatest joy to help others gain confidence in their public speaking abilities. We offer coaching in Manhattan and New Jersey, as well as remotely through Skype.
Not convinced? Let’s address some doubts about the coaching process.
Common Misconceptions
Practicing speaking in a forced/simulated setting won’t help me during my actual presentation in real life in front of a real, live audience.
Yes it can! Actors don’t always rehearse in front of a live audience, but that doesn’t mean their rehearsals don’t help. In the same way that actors learn to speak from the heart and deliver authentic performances by rehearsing, you can improve your public speaking skills by practicing with us. We’ll also help you craft the right speech for the right audience.
I’m too anxious or shy to speak well in public.
Believe it or not, introverts make great public speakers. This is because they are less likely to wing a presentation, spending enough time crafting and organizing their thoughts. Some of history’s greatest speakers, such as Gandhi and Winston Churchill, dealt with public speaking anxiety, but they focused on their message and that made all the difference.
I can’t discover my authentic self in a simulated setting being fed superficial directions and gestures.
At Speak Clear we don’t simply teach you how to deliver a presentation, telling you how to stand, where to walk, when to gesture with your hands. We help you calm your nerves and create a presentation that comes from the heart. We teach you breathing techniques, help you hone in on a central theme that is meaningful, add flourishes like quotes, comparisons and contrasts, and, of course, offer all the encouragement you need!
I’m too far behind. I don’t have enough time before my next presentation.
That is precisely why you need a coach! At Speak Clear, we can help you stay on task, preparing your speech on time, and help you catch up if you feel behind. Don’t waste valuable time worrying about your presentation. Let us guide you through the process, no matter how little time you have.
Presentation skills training will be too expensive.
We offer a variety of pricing options to accommodate each of our clients. We’re committed to helping you and that means finding the right plan so we can get straight to work.
