Former
Yankee catcher Yogi Berra coined a sage bit of public speaking
wisdom when he said, “I don’t want to make the wrong mistake.”
What does
this have to do with public speaking?
The best
speakers often make small mistakes because they speak
extemporaneously, rather than relying heavily on a script or
notes. So mistakes are inevitable. But as Yogi might
say, the key is to avoid the “wrong mistakes.”
If you keep
you message focused on a few simple points, tell stories, and
speak with passion, you won’t make the wrong mistakes. Those
are simple keys that we teach in our workshops.
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.
Sure you’re
going to make mistakes. The best speakers always do. But with
the help of our expert coaches, you won’t make the “wrong
mistakes.”
