Here are some of the topics you will learn in this class

10 key points to consider for communicating and public speaking with confidence:

1. Thorough Preparation

Preparation is crucial for building confidence. Research your topic extensively, organize your content logically, and practice your delivery multiple times. Familiarize yourself with the venue and any technical equipment you'll be using to minimize potential issues.

2. Know Your Audience

Tailor your speech to your audience's interests and needs. Understanding who you're speaking to helps you connect better and maintain their attention. Consider their level of knowledge on the topic and adjust your language accordingly.

3. Develop Confident Body Language

Project confidence through your body language. Stand tall, make purposeful movements, and use gestures to emphasize key points. Maintain eye contact with your audience to establish a connection and convey authority.

4. Manage Your Voice

Use your voice effectively by varying your tone, pitch, and pace. Speak clearly and avoid mumbling. Incorporate deliberate pauses to allow your audience to digest information and to emphasize important points.

5. Use Visualization Techniques

Spend time visualizing yourself delivering your speech confidently. Imagine the audience engaged and responsive, and picture yourself speaking flawlessly. This mental practice can help reduce anxiety and build a positive mindset.

6. Engage with Your Audience

Make your presentation interactive by asking questions, sharing relatable anecdotes, and encouraging participation. This helps build rapport and makes the experience feel more like a conversation than a one-sided lecture.

7. Focus on Your Message

Concentrate on the value of your message rather than on your performance. Remember that you're there to serve your audience and provide them with valuable information. This shift in focus can help alleviate self-consciousness.

8. Embrace Your Personality

Let your authentic self shine through in your presentation. Audiences appreciate speakers who are genuine and relatable. Don't be afraid to inject appropriate humor or personal stories to make your speech more engaging.

9. Work from an Outline

Instead of reading from a script, use a brief outline to guide your speech. This allows for more natural delivery and better eye contact with your audience, enhancing your connection with them.

10. Cultivate a Growth Mindset

View each speaking opportunity as a chance to learn and improve. Don't aim for perfection, but rather focus on progress. Reflect on your performances, seek feedback, and continuously work on enhancing your skills.

Susan turns her amazing human behavior insights into great tools for anyone in sales - even a lawyer like me. I highly recommend hearing from Susan on the perspective she brings to the sales, networking and marketing process.

 

Dave Lorenzo | The Godfather of Growth

For this skill, she is a big hit at our community events where she has given guests insight into their own personalities and how to apply human behavior analysis and face-reading on the fly to improve professional and personal outcomes.

We would highly recommend her for any event where developing this type of skill set would be useful.

Her incredible gift for understanding people absolutely blew me away. She was able to cold-read me, while we were on the show, and her assessment was spot-on.

Engage her to be your secret weapon to close the next big deal or win the next big case.
