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.”
