Executives want to know how to speak so that people are motivated to do what they were hired for. |
|
Have you seen people who obviously have prepared great content, but when you listen to them you can’t receive their information because of their style of speaking,
or their delivery? |
|
Or they have magnificent delivery but the ideas come at you in chaotic order?
|
| |
This is why executive training in speaking skills makes a difference in your career and earning and persuasion power. |
| |
You can be the person who commands and holds attention. |
|
|
Tips: |
|
Humans retain information in sets of three. Give
up to three main points per talk or per section
of a training program. |
|
Begin each talk with some Opening and end with some
Close. It encloses your information. The Opening
pulls them to you and the Close guides them to
action. |
|
An executive is willing
to be silent. Pause between sentences. |
|
Since you probably
would hire a gold or tennis coach, hire an executive
speaking coach for training and very quickly become
a better speaker. Short-term training makes you
speak like yourself, but better. |
|
here is just about no
reason to point to a PowerPoint screen with a laser
pointer. If a screen is complex - show it and
immediately segment and highlight a section on the
next screen. Use a different color and or a larger
font to highlight numbers or words. Face your
laptop, face the group! |

It The Big Speech coming up? |
|
Close the door to your office and rehearse. Thinking about what you will say, or reading over your talk is not rehearsal. |
|
The answer to this is to speak much more slowly than
you feel is right. Ask a friend if you are speaking
too slowly to be reassured that this ridiculously
slow way of speaking is really just right for the
listeners. |

I do not have time for Executive training! |
|
Who does? Tape yourself; send it to your coach
who sends it back with direct, diplomatic
critique. PRIVACY! |
