The Speaker's Gym Intensive strengthens the skill of speaking and presenting for effectiveness and full self expression. Video is an important tool in our approach.

The Basics; Leadership, Language and Intentions

You don't have to rehearse to be yourself, but the basics will help you to express yourself more effectively. This is a safe, respect based environment to create flow around your presentation.

• You will practice introductions of yourself and topics.
• You will have the opportunity to improvise and also deliver "mystery" topics.
• You will receive coaching from the instructor and feedback from your peers but more importantly you will learn how to give feedback to your peers.
• You will also come away inspired with the power of your stories. It will be less about overcoming fear and more about effectiveness while contributing.

Stand & Advocacies

A presenter who knows who they are at their core spends more time operating from that place. In weeks three and four your current speaking opportunities will begin to further align with your core values.

• You will be clear on what "makes you tick" as a speaker.
• You will without hesitation commit to a "power stand." (The key position you take and filter all your topics through.)
• You will implement the power of the pause.
• You will create definition around your natural humor. By now you'll be clearer than ever that you're the real deal.

Visual Aids, Speakers Tricks & Marketing Your Presentations

All speakers have their own style. Here is where yours will take form. The balance you create in your approach and delivery is supplemented by the effective use of Power Point, markers boards, video, and audience participation.

• Here you will stand your ground even when it seems like you are "under fire."
• You will win the room with your opening.
• You will have your recipe for your WOW presentation.
