Course Description – EXCPE 5347: Powerful Communication & Public
Speaking
Public speaking ranks as one of the highest anxiety- producing experiences
that most people will face. But it is also one of the keys to success for many
people in business. You may be an expert in your field, but if you can’t
communicate that expertise to others, it will remain your secret.
When you make presentations to clients, outline your objectives in a job
interview, or lay out the future of your company to your employees, your public
speaking skills can be the difference between success and failure. Your
delivery and overcoming the anxiety of public speaking is the key to reaching
your potential. If you want your business to succeed or advance in your career,
this training will be an investment that pays off immediately.
In this workshop public speaking is treated as a performance. Just as an
athlete gets keyed up when he/she is ready to perform, you must have a
certain amount of energy when you get up in front of people to make your
presentation. The goal is to control that energy through preparation, breathing
techniques and understanding the psychology of the speaker/audience
relationship.
