the public speaking course
Everyone has a right to speak and that includes you. Clear, concise
communication is important and will help you to get your message across, whether
that be in a work environment or in a personal capicity. Most people are not
natural communicators or born public speakers. The vast majority of people are
self-conscious, fearful and nervous about speaking in public. The "little voice"
in their head is constantly over-thinking: "What will he/she/they think of me?
What if I go blank and forget what I am saying? What will happen if I make a
mistake?" Think about your own situation for a moment. How do you feel when you
are asked – or told – to speak in public? Quite likely your initial physical
reaction is something along the lines of a dry throat, racing heart, sweaty
palms, scared, petrified, palpitations, paralysed and in extreme cases you may
even feel short of breath, become dizzy or go in to a full-blown panic attack.
Does any of that sound and feel familiar? Don’t panic, you are not alone. This
happens a lot to people who have a built-in fear of standing up in front of
other people and presenting an idea, making a pitch, delivering a speech or
going for that all-important job interview. It’s a natural reaction, but it
doesn’t have to be that way. Our One-Day Public Speaking Course is designed to
help you deal with your fear and will teach you to stand up with confidence and
speak from a position of genuine, ease and poise. Our techniques are simple,
effective and extremely powerful. The course is designed to help you escape from
the prison of your own mind – from your constant over-thinking and fearful
disposition; for you to be able to enjoy the benefits of communicating
concisely, fluently, passionately and, most importantly, to get your message
across in the best-possible way. The skills you will learn go far beyond public
speaking. You will be able to use the tools to help you deal with many of life’s
challenges. They will give you an inner confidence that you may not have had
before and allow you to be yourself – whoever that turns out to be. That
free-floating fear you feel is nothing more than a bully and is, in all
likelihood, holding you back from your full potential. Once confronted, it will
melt away leaving you free to enjoy the life and the success you deserve. The
incessant and always-present "little voice" of fear will tell you that people
will laugh at you; that you're not good enough; that you're not worthy enough;
that you don’t deserve to be there, that your speech will be a disaster and that
you will be fully exposed for what you truly are – a fraud! It will tell you
that you cannot cope; that you have not prepared enough; that you don't know
what you're talking about and that nobody is interested in what you have to say
anyway. Fear tells you that both you and your topic are boring and not worth
listening to. As a result, fear holds you back, blocks your path to success and
prevents you achieving your goals in both your career and in life generally.
Fear is a bully and like most bullies when confronted, its threat disappears
leaving you free to enjoy life. You just need the right strategies, techniques
and encouragement to overcome it. The good news is that there is a solution.
This One-Day Public Speaking Course will help you break through the fear and
allow you to stand up and be heard. We have worked with people from all
professions, backgrounds, walks of life and from all over the world; from
graduates just starting out, to CEOs, business owners, entrepreneurs and PR
consultants; from doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants, to politicians (known
and unknown), psychiatrists, psychotherapists and counsellors. So, whoever you
are and whatever you do, if you have a fear of standing up and speaking in front
of people, now is the time to deal with it – not tomorrow – now. By the end of
the One-Day Public Speaking Course you will have both the skills and the
confidence to stand up in front of any number of people and present. And that
also includes being able to present on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype and other
online platforms.
