Client Yingzhao Liu speaking at Wisdom 2.0 2016
Whether you are preparing a speech for several thousand people or the next team meeting I can help. We will work with your stage fright or fears about language skills as we build your ability to add dynamics and charisma to the way you speak. We will take your seeds of ideas (or nearly completed work) and explore ways that we can best impress and delight your audience.
Presenting well involves a harmonious combination of Material, Audience and Performer.
- What material works best for you and who you are?
- Different things are important to different people. We’ll explore how you can speak to a range of personality types and their needs.
- How you speak is often more important than what you say. What are your nonverbal cues telling people, and how can we have your body tell people what you want them to hear? (And not what you don’t!)
To shape you and your speech into something memorable I combine my experience with voice training, radio and documentary film production, creative writing and musical and improvisational theater. I bring in mindfulness and body awareness from the Hakomi Method as well as coaching skills from New Ventures West. You will step out onto the stage or in front of your team with confidence about what you have to present and how you present it.
