I just returned from a few days in San Francisco. One of the highlights of my trip was visiting Alcatraz. I learned so much history. I'm always amazed at how much I don't know! As soon as we arrived a Park Ranger met us. He was funny, engaging, knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to. His public speaking skills were awesome! During my vacation, I was constantly reminded how useful public speaking skills are. September is always a good time to refocus on our personal development. If improving your public speaking skills is part of your 2018 personal development plan, give me a call and we will schedule a training program or some individual coaching. The ten tips I cover during Presentation Skills Training include:
1. Know your audience
2. Sound like you care
3. Have great content
4. Adjust your language for the audience
5. Add spice!
6. Use effective visuals
7. Make a great impression
8. Know the environment
9. Plan for Q & A
10. Practice, practice, practice
