Spoken communication is a physical art. We often hear or say the phrase, “I could have said that better.” However, being at a loss for words during communication opportunities has more to do with what your breath and body are doing than what your mind is (or is not) thinking. We start this program learning foundational ideas on how to improve the impression you make, both in terms of content (what you say) and delivery (how you say it).

Participants will then learn and practice kinesthetic tools for being concise, mastering silence, and projecting authority, regardless of confidence or anxiety level. Some of the specific topics include: avoiding the trap of “professional mode;” how a communication warm-up can increase energy and clarity; and using the 5 P’s of Vocal Variety to capture and keep your audience’s attention. This program is all about examining presence holistically: its definition, misconceptions, best practices, and more.
