Successful Speaking Secrets Volume 2

Being an engaging speaker requires more than subject expertise. 

The confidence exuded by the speaker who appears comfortable on stage represents the apogee of performance for many people required to speak regularly at business events or social occasions.

Successful Speaking Secrets offers a new and unique approach to accessing the techniques underpinning exceptional presentations and public speaking performances. 
Until now there has been a lack of really accessible, multimedia material addressing this critical area of personal and professional development. 

The Successful Speaking Secrets box set contains an integrated self-development programme, comprising printed, video and audio resources, designed to maximise the effectiveness and flexibility of the learning experience.  It is the only material that delivers its messages in all three formats (written, video and audio), making it ideally suited to all three learning styles, visual, auditory and kinaesthetic.   

With Successful Speaking Secrets you will discover:

• How to control your nerves and increase your confidence
• How to produce and use notes effectively
• How to use powerful language that connects with your audience's emotions
• The secrets to producing high-impact scripts
• Techniques to help you improve your memory
• How to plan eye-contact to maximum advantage
• The secrets to varying your voice to achieve greatest impact 

The unique approach taken by Successful Speaking Secrets can be summarised as a fusion of biology, physics and creativity:

• Biology
  Good speakers are heard by their audiences.  Successful Speaking Secrets provides an explanation as to why breathing and posture are critical to an engaging performance, as well a providing a series of exercises demonstrating appropriate technique.
• Physics
  Good speakers can be understood.  At its simplest, speech is simply vibrating air molecules.  Many people are let down by poor articulation, producing unstable speech that audiences find hard to understand.  Successful Speaking Secrets provides exercises to improve articulation.
• Creativity:  Even speakers who can be heard, understood and know their topic can still bore an audience to distraction.  This occurs when they haven’t thought through an appropriate structure and when they use language which doesn’t speak to audience’s needs.  Successful Speaking Secrets explains the rules for writing engaging scripts and provides techniques for producing powerful language that engages audience’s emotions.

Successful Speaking Secrets volume two is designed for people who give lots of presentations, either socially, or as part of their job.  It's about engaging the audiences emotions and delivering persuasive performances that boost professional and personal credibility.  It comprises two workbooks, with over 120 pages of information, approximately two hours of video divided over 13 tracks, and 13 audio recordings.

Successful Speaking Secrets is available as a home study, self-help course, for individual use.  The material can also be licensed as part of an in-house training course for larger organisations, including a 'train-the-trainers' skills transfer workshop.  Contact us directly if you are interested in using the material in this way.
