PRO-TIP 1:  An audience will forgive a speaker for almost anything except making them feel uncomfortable. Anxiety translates to nervousness and suggests the speaker isn’t ready for Prime Time. Preparation will help the tension…yours and your audience!

PRO-TIP 2: Improving your confidence is one of the powerful results of our coaching growth processes.  Delivering your messages with confidence inspires change.

PRO-TIP 3: Take advantage of opportunities to speak whenever you can. If speaking is part of your job description or a way to get your message out into the world, retain a coach to add the professional polish to you shine.

PRO-TIP 4: Talk with an audience of 1 or 1000, not at them. Another skill that can be developed with influential word choices, story development, practice and focus on how the audience listens and learns.

PRO-TIP 5: You can win audiences by adding a little humor. Forget the jokes. they usually fall, flat, unless you are a comic, offend some segment of the audience. Self deprecating humor usually will warm your audience to you.
