Classes

Small-group classes are designed for busy, results-oriented professionals who want a breakthrough when it comes to their speaking skills.  Interactive, intensive sessions of no more than 10 participants will give you experience speaking in a supportive and fun environment.  They will cover speaking fundamentals including:

• Managing nervousness so you can put an end to feeling anxious or tongue-tied.
• Mastering the five secrets of speaking with confidence: stance, sound, smile, silence and sight.
• Introducing yourself with a memorable elevator speech in formal and informal networking situations.
• Preparing presentations quickly and effectively – from briefings and client pitches to toasts and impromptu speeches.

And due to the small class size, small-group classes cover additional topics based on the unique needs and interests of participants in each group.  Secure your space today.
