Maya Angelou is quoted as saying, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” The mechanism for this is both the trusted connection we create with our audience and how we deliver our message. To show up strong and engage our audience in a compelling way doesn’t require you to be an exceptional public speaker, but it does require that you understand what effective communication is all about. In this energizing and fun three-hour session, we will learn to communicate with impact and purpose from the inside out. We will learn the techniques to engage the audience from the moment we walk out on stage, embody confidence, compel the audience through heartfelt and dynamic delivery, and paint pictures and evoke emotions with our message.
