Here is some new information that may surprise you. It’s been proved that the number one attribute that will lead you to the top of any profession, according to research by the Harvard Business School, is the ability to speak passionately, persuasively and professionally, especially in public.
Without doubt those rare individuals who can communicate with impact and win others over to their ideas, and way of thinking, are the ones who will enjoy the best careers, rewards and relationships.
If you stop and think about it, who couldn’t benefit from improving their skills at positively influencing clients, customers, prospects, colleagues, family and friends?
Yet, ironically, being asked to speak in public, based on our own independent survey of 2000 business people, is the number one thing people fear the most (even beating the fear of dying into third place).This means most people would rather die than speak in public. Of course it is embarrassing for all concerned, when someone manages to do both at the same time!
So how do you avoid dying on your feet in front of an audience of one or one thousand? And if you are already pretty good, how do you become outstanding? The answer is to take time out to invest in your most important asset - yourself - and get some training.
The Confident Club provides just that. Three international business speakers at the top of their profession will teach you their secrets. We deliver what has been described as the most powerful presentation coaching in the country. Our clients include CEOs, senior mangers, sportspeople, politicians and TV presenters.
We go beyond where other training companies stop, by starting with your mental attitude and beliefs: changing the way you think. It’s no good learning, even the best technique, if you don’t believe you are any good at presenting.
That is what makes us different, plus our money back guarantee.
Why are presentation skills so important?
Well, for one, they are often the key to getting other people to do the things you want them to do, whether that’s giving you business, giving you a promotion, recognising your achievements or acting on your ideas.
As those who work in creative industries know only too well, a good idea will never materialise into anything more than an idea unless you can persuade others of its merits.
What fewer people realise, however, is that in an increasingly PowerPoint dominated presentation culture being persuasive is at least as much about the speaker as it is the content, however beautifully presented.
Our Presentation Mastery training therefore focuses on a number of key things, including
* High impact starts and finishes
* Effective use of body language
* Techniques to involve your audience
* Handling questions
* Overcoming objections
* Structuring your presentation
* Bringing to life seemingly ‘dry’ material
Each Presentation Mastery workshop is delivered by a top business speaker and supported by one of our coaches. This ensures that delegates have ample opportunity for pre-course self-evaluation and post-course follow-up - ensuring maximum benefit from the workshop and ongoing access to their presentation coach.
