Guiding Clients into public speaking

Speaking engagements are a valuable tool for brand building and enhancing a personal or organizational reputation. Expanding into public speaking also provides networking opportunities and an additional source of revenue.

The problem? Nearly 75 percent of the population has a fear of public speaking. Hiring a speaker coach can help clients work through that anxiety using the three Ps of public speaking: purpose, preparation and practice.

Honing Your Message

  • What is your area of expertise?

  • How do you choose a topic to demonstrate and share that experience?

  • What is the goal of your speaking engagement?

  • What’s in it for the audience? What is the ONE thing you want them to take away from your talk?

Building the Presentation

  • Your coach can spot places to add compelling visual aids.

  • Finding ways to finesse the flow of the speech can polish a performance.

  • A second eye can help to keep the details organized and easy to follow.

The Art of Public Speaking

  • A coach gives you real-time feedback on tone, volume and speed during preparation.

  • Suggesting tips for eye contact and interaction with the crowd make your presentation personal.

  • A speaker coach ensures you are prepared through repetition to “wow” the audience with a memorable performance.

  • This additional help gives a client the utmost confidence going into the event to reduce anxiety.

Promote Additional Opportunities

  • Publicizing speaking success is an important next step in brand building.

  • A speaker coach can position and advise a client on what future opportunities exist.

  • Generating additional speaking opportunities will continue to build an audience, a following and demand for your brand.
