WORKED WITH:

American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote:

“All the great speakers were bad speakers at first.”

And while I agree in theory, I think we can come up with a way to reframe the word “bad” when it comes to public speaking.

  • Maybe you’re an uncomfortable speaker.
  • Maybe you’re an unprepared speaker.
  • Maybe you’re an untrained speaker.
  • Maybe you’re a reluctant speaker.
  • Maybe you’re an inconsistent speaker.
  • Maybe you’re a good speaker on the way to becoming great.
  • And maybe you’re a great speaker on the way to becoming exceptional.

If any of those sound like you, you’ve come to the right place – and to the right person!

Smart Tips: Public Speaking will give you:

  • Techniques for reducing presentation anxiety

  • Insights into creating audience-centered presentations (because it's more about THEM than about YOU)
