//Public Speaking Bootcamp


 

You rarely get two chances to make a powerful first impression so getting your message across to the people you are talking to is an extremely important business skill.

 

The trouble is …

In surveys ‘public speaking’ is often first or second on the list of things that scare people most.

People who are normally confident and articulate can soon become tongue tied and painfully nervous when they have to speak up or present in public.  That chance to get your message across can be lost forever if the presenter does not communicate the value of the message or present it in a way the audience can understand.

Worse still, a very capable person can quickly lose credibility simply because they don’t present their message well.

 

How long does it take to turn off an audience and lose £££s?

 


Over the years Stephen has been conducting an experiment during numerous opportunities to watch and listen to fellow business men and women give presentations about their business.

 

At the start of each talk he takes note of the time and keeps an eye on the audience then monitors how long it takes until 50% of the audience is no longer paying attention.

 

And here is the very scary answer. The average time it takes the majority of business presenters to lose 50% of their audience is

under 3 minutes

 

Whether you are presenting your ideas internally to colleagues or presenting products and services externally to customers it is true that first impressions count.

Rightly or wrongly the credibility of your company can rest on the skill of the presenter. Or, to put it more directly, the profit margin of your company can rest on the skill of the presenter.

 

Solution = Public Speaking Bootcamp
