A new program to train business and other professionals in public speaking and presentation skills is being offered starting in January.
The program, called “Speaking Mastery,” will run for three months and features experiential training and techniques used by expert speakers, designed to bring speaking and performance skills to a new level. It is designed to help professionals attract new clients and to inspire and motivate others.
“Having good communication skills is such an essential part of our personal and professional lives, now more than ever,” said Deborah Lee, communications coach and owner of Speak Your Best! “I developed this course to help professionals at all levels gain confidence and learn to speak powerfully and persuasively in almost any situation, whether it’s with another individual or in front of hundreds.”
The course will cover overcoming performance fear and anxiety, crafting memorable signature speeches and talks, vocal variation techniques, enhancing stage presence, the art of powerful presenting, effective rehearsal methods, and related topics.
Multiple date options begin on January 14 and 18 from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm. It is limited to 8-12 participants to be highly customized for each attendee. Each participant will also receive one individual coaching session with Ms. Lee. Coursework includes lectures, hands-on training and performing, personalized feedback, interactive breakthrough exercises, and homework.
