Good On Your Feet!

A dynamic speaking skills workshop from The Eloquent Woman

You want to be able to do more than just read your speech--or your slides.  When you get an unexpected question or a challenge, you want to look confident, not frozen with fear because you're suddenly off-script. This two-day intensive workshop will give you the tools and hands-on practice you need to become a more dynamic--and effective--speaker, whether you're speaking up in a meeting or giving a major speech.  You'll leave feeling better prepared and more confident, and able to be "good on your feet" in a wide range of speaking situations.

Workshop facilitator Denise Graveline is a communications consultant who has trained thousands of executives to give presentations with presence and gain confidence in public speaking. She is the author of The Eloquent Woman, a popular public speaking blog, and The Eloquent Woman on Facebook, the most popular public speaking page on Facebook.

You'll work in a small group with ample time to learn, ask questions and try out new skills and strategies in an intimate and encouraging environment, including:

  • Dynamic starts--why you need them and how to create them
  • The 3 Rs of dynamic presenting: Ready, Relaxed and Resilient
  • Ready with effective planned messages that help you go with the flow--but get your content in
  • Relaxed movements, gestures and mindsets of dynamic speaking
  • Resilient and graceful ways with Q&A, audience needs and mishaps
  • Live practice and critique to help you see and hear what your audience sees and hears
  • Advice on putting it all together, using The Eloquent Woman's checklist for the whole speaker

 

What previous participants had to say:

  • "I feel more confident in my ability to give presentations--thanks!"
  • "I found useful the Q&A response tactics and a pausing technique that I can use."
  • "Most valuable: practicing with feedback from Denise and the other participants."
  • "Most valuable for me were the graceful ways with Q&A, critiques, video recording and moving around (walking and talking)."
  •
