Public Speaking Tip from George Orwell.

 

“The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns … instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.”

Those are the words of George Orwell,  whose birthday was late last month.  Like Orwell, we at Speechworks are strong believers in speaking simply and projecting authenticity.  That’s what we teach you how to do in our communication skills workshops.

In our workshops, we give you plenty of practice and coaching so that you can and connect with your audience simply and with authenticity: We focus on two areas:

  • How to organize a message that is tight, simple and focused 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.

Consider attending an upcoming workshop.  We’ll help you learn how to make your point clearly and without obfuscation.

At Speechworks we help our clients learn how to communicate in a way that connects and persuades.  If you’re interested in becoming a great communicator give us a call at 404-266-0888 or check out our website at www.speechworks.net.
