We'll shoot holes in many of the myths around what makes a good speaker. And we'll look at specific confidence-building techniques that will allow you to be at home and resourceful in front of an audience. It's practical knowledge that you'll be able to use the next day, whether you're fluent or not. This is the standard Speaking Circles program, but a more extended and intense version that also offers people an opportunity to view the first day's talks at home on Saturday night before coming and back on Sunday to complete the program. People will have 7 to 8 opportunities to speak, and several different kinds of speaking opportunities will be explored.
All talks are spontaneous, so there is nothing to prepare.
Imagine having multiple opportunities to really get into the speaking experience. Imagine all that applause. And imagine 7 or 8 opportunities to receive positive feedback. It's an intense day and a half in which real change can take place. Because of the multiple opportunities that each person has to be up in front of the group, the workshop is limited to just 15 people.
