Are you ready for this?

Maybe you’re a veteran public speaker. Or perhaps you haven’t been in front of a live audience before and you’re suffering from a little stage fright. Regardless of your experience level, presentation training can make a difference.

Podium Prose trainers will provide tips on how to prepare to give a speech, how to deal with nervousness, how to feel comfortable in front of an audience. For more experienced speakers, we’ll analyze your style and offer advice on how to bolster your strengths and improve any vulnerabilities in how you address your audiences.

We also work with executives and political figures on how to handle media interviews. This involves a variety of skills, from eye contact to body language to effectively summarizing your message and following your agenda, not your interviewer’s.

Public Speaking
Tip of the Week:

There's a tremendous difference between speaking "at" your audience and communicating "with" them. Here's three basic tips to keep in mind: (1) Do your homework. Relate your message to your audience's mission or experiences; (2) Make frequent eye contact with people in different sections of the room. Know your text so your eyes aren't glued to the paper; and (3) use the kind of informal phraseology you would employ in a conversation. Avoid lecturing tones.

 
Winning Words
of the Week:

"Ultimately, this issue isn’t just about information freedom; it’s about what kind of world we’re going to inhabit. It’s about whether we live on a planet with one internet, one global community, and a common body of knowledge that unites and benefits us all. Or a fragmented planet in which access to information and opportunity is dependent on where you live and the whims of censors. Information freedom supports the peace and security that provide a foundation for global progress. Historically, asymmetrical access to information is one of the leading causes of interstate conflict. When we face serious disputes or dangerous incidents, it’s critical that people on both sides of the problem have access to the same set of facts and opinions. "

-- Speech by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Internet freedom, January 21, 2010
