17 Steps to Build Assertiveness through Advanced Presentation & Public Speaking Skills to Help You Reach the Next Level.
How does this Assertiveness Course Work?
To show confidence and credibility while public speaking, what you actually know matters less than what your audience thinks you know.
Don't believe me, check this out: I watched a presentation by a history professor who is well known in his field who is extremely knowledgeable and full of confidence. He had given out evaluations afterward, and I asked about the results.“People reported I knew a lot about history,” he said, sounding puzzled, “but they felt I wasn’t very credible. How could that be?”
From having observed his public speaking, I knew what the problem was. Though he knew his subject very well, his language, his voice, his facial expressions, and his body language didn’t show confidence. This is why the audience found he lacked credibility.
In this program, you will discover 3 powerful ways to show more confidence and credibility when public speaking. This isn't just theoretical fluff, these are real, practical techniques you can start using immediately.
Our goal is to give people practical and actionable tools that create a real connection with your audience. Not pie in the sky ideas, one hit wonders or concepts that sound good on paper but are impossible to execute, that comes off as disingenuous, or that are just plain ineffective.
Over 20 years ago, I began crafting this method for meeting the challenges of public speaking in a way that’s genuine to you. We show you exactly how to take public speaking skills and use them to seize opportunities, big & small. So you can have the confidence you need to deliver your message because our guess is what you have to say is pretty important.
