Public Speaking Wisdom from Yogi Berra.

 

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.”

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
