Ever wonder
how Oprah became such a great communicator? It wasn’t by
accident.
"I’ve been an
orator really, basically all of my life," she said. "Since I was three
and a half, I’ve been coming up in the church speaking . . . .
I’ve spoken at every church in Nashville at some point in my
life. You sort of get known for that. Other people were
known for singing. I was known for talking.”
In other
words, Oprah is a great communicator because she has had a lot
of practice.
Just like
Oprah, at Speechworks we believe that the key to becoming a
great communicator is through practice. And in our workshops,
we give you plenty of opportunity to practice on camera. We
then give you feedback from a coach.
All of our
programs focus 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.
So if you
want to be a better speaker, give us a call. You might
become the next Oprah.
Open
workshops are held every month at the Speechworks training
center in Atlanta. Call us at 404-266-0888 to learn how we
