SPEAK & PRESENT (Manchester) 1-Day Public Speaking Masterclass

Discover what the top 1% of presenters know that 99% of Public Speaking courses will never teach you.

Learn the secret tricks of the trade that speakers, actors, and motivational coaches use to master their emotions and eliminate fear, anxiety and self-doubt.

We’re looking for ten ambitious professionals, managers, consultants, or future thought leaders to join us for a one-day masterclass in communication.

Let’s cut to the chase. Do you recognise the following?

• You’re great at what you do, but you can’t seem to communicate your knowledge with confidence.
• You start every sentence with “so”, end every sentence with “yeah”, or fill your sentences with “um” or “ah”.
• You regularly speak on stage or in front of an audience, but people say you sound monotone or lack charisma.
• You’ve had opportunities to speak, but you don’t know what to say or how to express your ideas.

The very BEST way for you to be noticed in your industry, your workplace, or even in the meeting room is to become a great public speaker.

STOP RIGHT THERE…

Did a voice pop into your head and said you couldn’t do it? Maybe you think you sound drab? Or perhaps you feel like an imposter when you step on stage in front of an audience?

These are why most people will never become great at public speaking, but we have helped hundreds of people to do precisely that.

Over the past five years, we have worked with:

• Business owners, corporate leaders and entrepreneurs
• TEDx speakers
• Management consultants
• Healthcare professionals
• Sales professionals
• Newly appointed managers
• Senior Executives

And many more types of people to help them experience the joy of feeling powerful in challenging circumstances while communicating with clarity and confidence.

We won't just show you how to speak better - we will turn you into a Powerful Business Communicator.

• Have several elevator pitches ready to go for different purposes
• Can stay calm under pressure
• Sound conversational whether on stage, in a meeting, or face to face
• Seem charming and friendly while authoritative at the same time
• Use natural gestures and body language to emphasise key points
• Are great storytellers and have a way of weaving words and phrases to ignite the imagination
• Speak to themselves in an encouraging and compassionate way

`As well as a complete training in the fundamentals of public speaking and confident communication, this masterclass will also teach you:

> The secret formula TEDx speakers use to set the standard for world-class presentations which millions of people can view.

> The five best ways to engage an audience within the first 30 seconds of starting a speech and keep them hanging on your every word.

> The stand-up comedian’s strategy for injecting humour into any story, even if you don’t consider yourself a “funny” person.

> The actors' peak-performance technique for charismatic body-language, emotional regulation and stage-presence.

• Hook your audience in and keep them engaged while you deliver your message?
• Stay on point and eliminate mumbling and rambling?
• Come across as confident even when you feel the butterflies in your stomach?
• Release your mind from worry and organise your thoughts?
• Assertively deal with distractions?
• Lead a room with only your ideas and your voice?
• Rid yourself of ‘imposter syndrome’ or outdated stereotypes about gender or age?

You will be joining three experts from three separate fields.
