Registration 9.45am for 10am start. Finish at 4.30pm. This is our well known ‘Speak Confidently to Win more Business’ Workshop held in Stourport-on-Severn. The workshop will improve your speaking skills whether you have never spoken to a group before or  whether you already do a lot of speaking but you are aware that there is room for improvement particularly when it comes to engaging an audience and making an impact. This is a risk-free event -  - Improve your Speaking Competence or your money-back!

Today more than ever, YOU are the business, YOU are the BRAND. People are deciding whether they would be happy to do business with you as soon as you open your mouth! Make sure that you are leaving them with a good impression.

Today for Business Success in the 21st century, improving your speaking ability is simply good business.

First, there isn't a more cost-effective way of raising awareness of your products or services than by presenting to an attentive audience of potential buyers.

Second, people today are more likely to buy from those they feel they know and trust. We tend to trust those who can speak confidently about what they do – speaking confidently means using congruent body language, good use of pause and eye contact and talking without a script. These are all skills that can be easily leant with a good experienced coach and mentor

When you attend meetings it is important that you are at ease networking one-to-one (most people are) AND standing and addressing groups. A confident speaker who can quickly gain rapport with their audience will always get the business compared to the person who mumbles or stumbles through their pitch or talk. A confident speaker also appears more trustworthy and reliable.

Word of Mouth Marketing and Networking Presentations are becoming key ways to promote your business. You need an inspiring and confidently presented ‘elevator pitch’ that will get you and your business noticed - where an audience will sit up and listen. You also need to be able to speak with clarity about your work (whether to one person or one hundred) and such ability is emerging as a key marketing skill for business success.

So this Workshop will:

• Give you techniques to overcome any fear you have of public speaking

• Teach you how to engage your audience so they sit up and take notice

• Show you how to ooze confidence and inject passion into your pitch

• Enable you to rapidly prepare a new speech or elevator pitch

• Let you be comfortable in your body when you speak

• Coach you on pitch, pace and projection, so you really perform

• Show you how to keep to time (60 seconds, 10 minutes, 30 minutes)

• Give you feedback on your strengths and coach you to improve your weaknesses

In essence you'll get speaking tips galore to improve your presentations (even if you currently do no speaking or already do a lot of speaking).

You will all leave this workshop with your own personal development plan and a toolkit of techniques to turn plans into action. You’ll also leave the workshop with a great sense of achievement or we’ll give you your money back – yes we give you a 100% money back guarantee that you’ll feel more confidence and competence as a speaker after this one day.

ALSO:

You’ll take away with you short VIDEO CLIPS (taken before we start, during and when we finish) that will show you the improvements that you made during the day (copied onto a on a USB computer stick) where you can review at work how much your performance had improved during the day

AND:

You’ll get three months of free follow-up email support to help you put your newfound confidence into practice.
