Public speaking is part of life for most people, whether you're delivering a presentation at work, being interviewed for a new position, speaking from a stage, or simply speaking up during meeting.
How do you feel about public speaking?
➡️ Do you love speaking in public and feel ready to uplevel your skills?
➡️ Are you ambivalent about public speaking but know that your skill level impacts your success and comfort at work?
➡️ Or do you get so nervous before speaking in public that you don’t deliver as effectively as you’d like, or do you avoid public speaking altogether?
Where you are now is less important than what's possible.
The Public Speaking Mastery program can make you a more confident, compelling speaker who engages audiences and makes an impact.
This program will also help you make emotional shifts to feel more powerful, centered, and self-assured.
To be a great public speaker who can deliver speeches or presentations, or present ideas more effectively in meetings, you must go beyond simple tactics of speaking a certain way or moving a certain way.
This course provides you with a strong foundation to develop the mindsets, habits, strategy, and emotional intelligence needed to be an excellent communicator or speaker, followed by nonverbal and verbal communication skills and techniques to structure and deliver powerful speeches, presentations, and panel discussions.
You will come away from this course with greater confidence, practical skills, and a deeper understanding of the psychology and strategy that will help you deliver with greater impact and ease.
Here are the details on the Public Speaking Mastery course.
This course will help you develop the strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and verbal and nonverbal communication skills to speak with confidence, clarity, and charisma and connect deeply with your audience.
It's based on research and the work that I've done with thousands of clients over the past 25 years to prepare them for speeches, presentations, media interviews, board meetings, pitches, and more.
Public Speaking Mastery & Your Communication Foundation

You can choose which of the assessments you want to complete.

This module will help you identify the gaps in your communication skills and, if you manage a team or organization, the gaps in the processes and missing elements that could strengthen communication and company culture.
2. The Mindsets and Habits of Great Communicators

the reticular activating system and how it shapes your life

4. Nonverbal Communication (Body Language)
This module covers nonverbal communication, which some people refer to as body language. This is crucial because up to 93% of our communication can be based on nonverbal communication.

deciding what to say and what to leave out or save until later
choosing the right words for the audience and the occasion
varying your tone, pace, and intonation to engage listeners

When you complete this module, you will have learned how to speak with more authority and polish your verbal delivery, which is extremely useful in any business or social setting.
