Eye Contact And A Smile: At Speechworks,

It's A Persuasive Speaker Staple.

Call it the “Ol’ One-Two.”

 

One is eye contact. Two is a smile. A sincere smile.

 

That simple combination is the strongest nonverbal communication tool for connecting with any listener.  When you give someone with the “Ol’ One-Two”, it’s almost impossible for him or her not to like you.

We find that many people in business need coaching in how to connect with eye contact and a smile. And it’s one of the things we focus on in our communication skills workshop, the Persuasive Speaker. In this workshop, you’ll deliver five presentations in front of a small group all with the help of our expert coaches.

The workshop focuses on two areas:

  • How to organize a message that is simple and focuses on audience needs. Speechworks teaches a simple Formula for focusing on listener needs.  We believe that if you have strong content, you will be more confident when you get up to speak.

  • How to deliver the message in a style that connects with the listeners.  We focus on eye contact, gestures, voice energy, and facial energy. Our coaches will give you private feedback on where you most need to improve.

All participants get five private sessions with a coach to rehearse and review the videotapes of their presentations. Open workshops are held twice a month at the Speechworks training center in Atlanta.
