Coaching
Keynote Development
Speaking involves a set of skills that through repetition can be mastered. Training is a process of learning these skills and honing them. Presence, connecting, stillness, movement, emotional accessibility, projection and storytelling are some of these skills. Training can be done in groups or individually. Many students start with coaching for a particular speech then advance to ongoing training. Training results in a mastery of these skills so speaking and storytelling becomes almost natural. As training advances much less time is needed to prepare speeches. Training also allows the speaker to reach levels not possible without training.
Public Speaking Coach
"New research shows the sound of a person's voice strongly influences how he or she is seen. The sound of a speaker's voice matters twice as much as the content of the message, according to a study last year of 120 executives' speeches by Quantified Impressions, an Austin, Texas, Communications analytics company. Researchers used computer software to analyze speakers' voices, then collected feedback from a panel of 10 experts and 1,000 listeners. The speakers voice quality accounted for 23% of listeners evaluations; the content of the message accounted for 11%. Other factors were the speakers passion, knowledge and presence."
What if I could provide you with a device that you could take on stage with you which allowed you to make your audience feel what you feel, laugh when you laugh? With this tool you could make your audience follow you with passion believe in what you believe and move them emotionally to do what you ask?
Well you were born with this instrument. It is your voice. Your body creates sound which is your voice. You shape this sound to create speech. Your voice is designed to communicate your deepest being and feelings to others in a way that they can feel. Your voice is meant to stir people to move them.
The problem is we are taught to shut this process down for many reasons. This cuts us off from our power. Voice training is the process of helping you understand what is blocking your voice and thus your power. Training can free anyones voice and by doing so you will develop the ability to move and influence people.
By training in voice and also learning the skills of public speaking it is possible for anyone to give powerful presentations. This is a very deep level of training that can be learned by all but is rarely taught.
