Five Steps to Successful Public
Speaking
|
1.
|
Benefit: Greater Confidence
We start with simple exercises designed
specifically to develop your confidence (see Survey).
This is especially helpful if you're a beginner in public speaking or
if you've learned English as a second language. We then show you how
to outline your speeches for maximum effectiveness (if you prefer
to have someone else write your speech, we can do that, too).
|
|
2.
|
Benefit:
Stronger Stage
Presence
Next, we concentrate on the physical mechanics
of public speaking including maintaining eye contact, listening, and
projecting vocally so that you can create rapport with your audience.
We also focus on relaxation and deep-breathing techniques to help
you will feel more poised and in control when speaking, either on stage
or in a conference room.
|
|
3.
|
Benefit: Continuous Improvement
As the SpeakOut Training Program
progresses, we suggest practice exercises you can do on your own (at
home, in the car, or out walking) which will improve your presentation
skills now and in the future.
|
|
4.
|
Benefit: Powerful
Presentations
Finally, we teach you how to enhance the power
of your speeches dramatically by asking for the sale as you finish
(every speech is an opportunity to urge people to take an
action, no matter what it may be). Your closing becomes a personal
invitation, asking those present to buy your product or support your
cause. This is the most effective and potent way to end your
presentations and inspire your audience.
|
|
5.
|
Benefit: Expert Feedback
During the training you'll give several practice
speeches including videotaped presentations so that we can evaluate
your public speaking abilities (self-improvement books and online
training lack this interactive feature). These are excellent
opportunities to receive expert feedback in a supportive environment,
helping you to maximize your strengths and eliminate your
weaknesses.

SpeakOut
Training Options
Individual Training. Whether you
want
help in all aspects of public speaking or need assistance in a
specific area, our individual training can be tailored to your needs.
Our one-on-one approach offers you greater privacy, as well as
personalized instruction not available in a large group.
Group Training. If you want to
improve the quality of public speaking in your company, then group
training is the answer. Our workshops are an ideal setting for you
and your colleagues to realize your public speaking goals in a
non-competitive atmosphere, relying on each other for mutual
reinforcement. The SpeakOut Training Program can be
customized to meet your company's needs including a choice of full or
half-day sessions.
Online Training. We also offer SpeakOut
individual and group training online for potential clients located
anywhere in the world. Online training allows us to
interact with you—as well as
your colleagues—as
if we were in the same room together. Using a video-conferencing
service, we demonstrate the basics of public speaking, analyze your
performance and build your confidence as a speaker.
SpeakOutPlus Executive Training. For
those of you who have completed Trimount's individual or group
training programs, SpeakOutPlus Executive Training offers an additional
level of personalized
service. Once
a week for two months, you receive an hour of intense, follow-up
training online via video-conferencing. We cover areas of
special importance to you, for example, the best
way to connect with your audience, the do's and
don'ts of successful PowerPoint presentations, etc.
If
you are an executive who is planning a major speech, SpeakOutPlus also
makes a wonderful rehearsal tool. We provide expert feedback prior to
the "big day" so that your presentation is fully polished and ready for
delivery to your audience.
Of course, we
also offer SpeakOutPlus
coaching in person wherever possible for those of you who
prefer a more direct approach as opposed to training via the
Internet.
