How to Give Powerful Presentations in Eight Hours

Dear Colleague,

Do you get anxious at the thought of public speaking? Do you get that feeling of anxiety in the pit of your stomach when it's your turn to speak to a group? Have you ever noticed your audience becoming bored? Are your sales presentations meeting more resistance?

Delivering powerful presentations is the number one business skill to master if you want to get promoted, become a leader or increase your value to your company. But most people cringe at the thought of embarrassing themselves in front of their peers. They would rather decline the promotion than speak in front of groups.

Because speaking is not as hard as you think. It’s merely having a one-on-one conversation with a few friends. I bet you are a natural at making conversation. I’ll show you how to become natural in front of any group at my one-day program:

How to Give Powerful Presentations in Eight Hours

It’s a powerful, hands-on experiential workshop designed to improve your speaking skills. This is not one of those general courses where you sit down to take notes. This is a highly interactive workshop where you get to deliver short presentations and receive personal coaching and feedback from me.

You’ll discover how to:

• Create a professional image your audience won’t forget
• Harness anxiety to work in your favor
• Grab and hold everyone’s attention from the very start
• Send powerful non-verbal messages through gestures and
  body language
• Use your voice to create different moods
• Structure your speech so it’s easy to follow
• And, most importantly, move your audience to take action!

Since 1992, I’ve spoken to over 100,000 people, but that first time is the one I’ll never forget. Nothing could have prepared me for that day. Everything went wrong. I gave a 35-minute presentation in 15 minutes. And after I loaded up the car, I collapsed on the front seat.

Today I coach executives, business professionals, and entrepreneurs to bring out their best and most engaging qualities. I help transform their technical jargon into a friendly and familiar talk that their audiences can understand. Once you establish this connection, you get instant credibility and become the expert in their eyes.

“After completing the program, my confidence level has increased dramatically along with my skills,” said Robert Hacken, Director of Sales for the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. “I now embrace public speaking engagements, not shying away, and in fact excelling when given these opportunities.”

“I really appreciated the one-on-one attention and the great feedback,” said Debi Pizzica, Sales Director, FedEx. “The videotaping showed me that what I projected was not what I was thinking.”

“I learned techniques to improve both my skill in delivering more powerful presentations and my skill in helping others deliver more powerful presentations,” said Gordon Lutes, Senior Vice President, Project Design Consultants.

I’ve worked with executives at Pfizer, Mail Boxes Etc., PacifiCare and Gen-Probe. I’ve been interviewed on on Local Channel 8’s News and “Inside San Diego,” and the KPBS show “These Days.” I’ve even been quoted in "O the Oprah Magazine.”

Many of my clients are high-salaried super achievers and are expected to deliver dynamic presentations for their companies. Through no fault of their own, they thought that a little practice would be enough. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Big corporations often do little to prepare their executives for live presentations. So they take the platform with a few butterflies in their stomachs—but exit quietly wondering why the audience was so still. And as a result, many have tasted defeat.

But it doesn’t have to be this way …

Making a presentation is a learned skill that anyone can learn. I‘ve proven it each time I hold a workshop. By the time we finish, my graduates are presenting with confidence and enthusiasm and believe in themselves more than ever before.

This workshop is designed for business leaders, small business owners, consultants and coaches. And anyone who wants to attract more business, climb the corporate ladder faster or become recognized as an authority in
their field.

Obviously this workshop is not for beginners. If you’re concerned about how many “ums” or “ahs” you’re committing, then this is not the right course for you. Or, if you've never spoken to a group before, this course may be too challenging.

Only $495 for early birds which is what I charge for a two hour private coaching session and $595 regular price. I’ve condensed over 15 years of public speaking experience into this training program. You’ll learn to avoid my mistakes and quickly model my successes.

I’ve limited this training to eight serious individuals. Any more than that would dilute your results. I want to give you as much personal attention as possible.

There is none. As I mentioned before—this training is highly interactive. The more you participate and the more open to feedback you are, the more you benefit. Besides, the caliber of people who see the success value this program offers are not looking for guarantees.
