Public Speaking & Presentation Skills Coaching
From CEOs to sales people, middle level management to customer service, people in the business world rarely receive the level of public speaking training they need to attain maximum efficacy. This is not just "icing on the cake." Customer relationships, and the ability to communicate effectively, directly affect revenue. Some examples:
The manner in which a CEO talks to the board impacts the entire company. Does he or she know the difference between coming off aggressively versus assertively - and how to change it? Interestingly, the same issue exists with $10 an hour customer service representatives who spend their days on the phone, yet never received training in listening skills.
For executives, one-on-one coaching provides individualized attention for your needs. Short-term coaching may involve speech writing or preparing for an singular presentation. For those desiring to make long-term changes, we begin with an assessment, indicating strengths as well as areas of improvement, and then create a program designed just for you.
For large-scale change, entire divisions of corporations as well as firms may desire custom-designed seminars. From a one-time, 2-hour seminar to a weekly class, WholeSpeak provides training for groups including:
- Executives
- Mid-level management
- Salespersons
- Customer Service
Anyone in the corporate world knows the importance of maintaining harmony and good rappor among coworkers. Even though a team is working closely together in the same field, they don't necessarily possess the same temperments. When pressures build due to a looming deadline, tensions easily become exacerbated if they haven't been taught how to deal with it skillfully.
This is where performance techniques enter the picture. Don't picture silly theater games. Rather, envision cutting-edge training used by internationally known ensemble theater companies (which create work not necesarily with a director, but as a group). Ensemble theaters depend on methods that help their performers work together harmoniously, as well as to create shows together.
By adapting these techniques for the business world, coworkers learn to connect in an entirely new way. While designed to meet your needs, workshops may be three hours, a full day, or ongoing. Results include:
- Increased productivity
- Improved listening and communication skills
- Learning different communication styles - and how to utilize them to your advantage with clients and coworkers
- A shared vocabulary for addressing - and resolving - interpersonal issues
- Enhanced enjoyment and playfulness in the office
Coaching and training is available either in our location in north Boulder, or in your office. For larger trainings, we will find a suitable location near you.
