About Workshop
A highly interactive Full-day Training Seminar specifically designed with a practical and motivational thrust for high calibre Managers, Executives and Supervisors, to develop a professional approach towards effective Oral Communication, Presentation Skills and the fine Art of Public Speaking.
WHY THIS COURSE IS IMPORTANT?
In a highly competitive Business environment, the need for professionalism becomes increasingly important.
This is the need of the Hour!
Disciplined and highly motivated Managers with a high degree of Communication Skills and the ability to address an audience are definite assets to any Organization. Thus, they should be well trained persons with highly developed skills in effective Communication and the Art of Public Speaking, to supplement their own technical knowledge of the Subjects they wish to present.
The ability to communicate an idea effectively or hold audience interest over a long period of time, by the employment of proven tactics and techniques, is an essential pre-requisite for all Managers and those engaged in educating selected Target Groups to achieve declared objectives.
This Training Seminar has been designed & developed over the years to achieve this objective. The Methodology employed will facilitate effective interaction and develop a positive attitude:
A “Win-win” Approach in every Communication - related situation.
THE STUTTERER AND THE EFFECTIVE SPEAKER
The Speaker was introduced after dinner. He came to the microphone and began haltingly:
"My F-F-Friends, when I arrived h-h-here this evening, only God and I knew what I was g-g-going to say. Now…….. Only God knows!"
This Speaker obviously had stage fright, was unprepared and had drawn a memory blank. This is a common phenomenon among untrained Speakers, who are called upon to address audiences. This could be the predicament of untrained Managers, who have in the course of their duties, to make presentations and address Company personnel or outside audiences.
This Speaker, realizing his shortcoming and the embarrassment he would face from time to time, took many years of Speech Training to get back to the Microphone with confidence. But finally he was on his feet, entertaining his audiences with finesse, as a brilliant Speaker.
"SPEAKRAFT" will make you a good Speaker and an effective Presenter, who can reach out to audiences, hold their attention and earn their respect.
