The First 3 Steps to Solving Public Speaking Fear
When folks ask me what I do for a living, I answer, “I help people eliminate public speaking fear.” It is always fun to watch the looks on their faces when they process what I said.

The Real Personality Temperment Test
From time to time, I hear people say things like, “She is a natural speaker.” On the other hand, I also hear things like, “I’ve always been a terrible speaker.” Both of these statements may be somewhat true. But they are also both absolutely false as well. No one comes out of the womb a fantastic orator. In addition, everyone has the talent to speak. Many people just fail to develop their natural
Even Trainers Need Training | Train-the-Trainer Model
The Train-the-Trainer Model is very common in the business world. However, many Train-the-Trainer programs have big flaws. A good analogy of what happens during this process is the old “telephone game.”Put ten people in a room. Whisper a phrase with more than 10 words into the ear of the first person. The second person then relays the message to the third person. This process continues over and ov

Get Better Audience Participation During Your Presentations!

5 Ironclad Ways to Prepare for a Presentation
“I don’t present very often, so how do I prepare for a presentation?” That is, by far, one of the most common questions that we get as presentation skills coaches.

For instance, if you only drive a car once every couple of years, you will likely be nerv

How to Write a Commencement Speech
Most of the time, if you're good at writing one style of speech, you're good at writing all of them.

5 Ways to Calm Down Before a Presentation
Want to calm down before a presentation? Even if you don’t regularly experience the fear of public speaking, just before you start a speech, it is easy to feel anxious.
