Public Speaking Training & Coaching
'You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.'
In the realm of public speaking, that first impression doesn't just mean personal appearance. It includes everything from voice projection, expression, breathing techniques, and body language ... to preparation and control of stage fright. It encompasses an ability to handle the media ... understand camera and time cues ... answer tough questions ... and come across as confident and comfortable in a televised or audio appearance.
In today's high-tech environments, it sometimes means ease in translating industry-specific, techno-speak into the language of the layman. In short, that first impression must cause your audience, whether live or virtual, to see you as credible ... approachable ... and successful, if you are to effectively deliver your message.
Never underestimate the power of Podium Presence—the ability to present to your public best. Whether you are an experienced pro ... or a novice ... the National Writers Group offers public speaking training and coaching tailored to help you develop, enhance, or expand your presentation skills.
We help clients employ a communication style that best suits them and their comfort level at the podium. That means developing physical skills for optimal connection with an audience ... coaching clients in converting nervous energy into positive, expressive electricity ... and creating effective visual media that clarify and instruct, rather than detract.
Public speaking training also addresses issues of crisis and risk communications for speakers needing just the right words to mitigate momentary or long-term difficulties.
To ensure that your first impression conveys your best possible public image, contact us for information on public speaking training in a variety of formats ... from group sessions to tailored, one-on-one executive coaching.
