Leadership: You Can Speak Like a Leader

 

Leadership: You Can Speak Like a Leader

 

 

Imagine that every time you speak, people perceive you as a confident and authoritative leader. Wouldn't it be nice to know that you can speak in a confident manner and in a way that is instantly understandable and memorable to your audience?

 

In this course you will learn the following:

 

How to avoid the most common speaking blunders that undermine authority

How to increase eye contact with your audience

How to structure your presentation so that you don't seem like a mid-level bureaucrat

How to prepare in the least amount of time possible

 

This course is delivered primarily through spoken lecture. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.

 

The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watch yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.

 

This course contains numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.

 

How long this course takes is up to you. The longest part of the course involves you speaking on video, critiquing yourself, and doing it over until you like it. But if you get to the point where you love how you look and sound when you present, it will be well worth the time spent. And having this skill will save you time for all future presentations in your life.

 

You can begin improving your leadership presentation skills right now. You may have an opportunity to speak out as soon as tomorrow, so why waste another day worried that your presentation skills are not up to high standards? Enroll in this course today.
