Oftentimes we respond to tricky questions or aggressive situations by freezing up, getting defensive, or shooting out a list of facts that does not connect with our audience or our mission.
Learn the techniques that will help you speak confidently about what you do in order to:
1. Help people connect to your beliefs and values;
2. Not play into a framework others have created;
3. And, ultimately, further your cause, business goals, or professional development.
In one class, I will help you demystify the communications techniques that make politicians, executive directors, and spokespeople effective at gaining support.
√ General Do’s and Don’ts every speaker should know
√ Crafting the perfect message
√ Ways of speaking to win over critics and skeptics
√ How to articulate your worldview and why it’s important for success
The format of this session will be workshop-based. You can expect to take part in:
