Pausing is Cool, says Mark Twain.  At Speechworks, We Couldn't Agree More.

Mark Twain said, “No word was ever as effective as the rightly timed pause.”

In fact, the pause may be one of the most useful tools in the communicator’s tool kit.  Pausing helps you gather your thoughts, adds drama, and shows confidence, all at once.

In our Persuasive Speaker workshops, we not only coach our clients in how pause effectively, we coach in how to stand up and deliver presentations with passion and in a way that connects and motivates. In our two day program, you will 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 using a simple Formula: 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.  Call us at 404-266-0888 to learn how we can produce a workshop for your team at your location.  Or check out our website at www.speechworks.net.
