SUMMARY:Effective Public Speaking Training Workshop- Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, it’s true.  \nThere IS research suggesting that people fear public speaking more than death.\nIn a 1973 study by R.H. Bruskin Associates\, which surveyed Americans about their fears\, public speaking ranked as the number one fear\, even above death.  \nThis led to the famous quote by comedian Jerry Seinfeld: \n \n  \n“Most people would rather be in the casket than give the eulogy.”\nGlossophobia (fear of public speaking) is extremely common\, affecting up to 77% of people.  \nPublic speaking can trigger immediate anxiety because it involves social judgment\, potential embarrassment\, and high stakes\, all in real time. \nBut\, it doesn’t have to.  Trigger anxiety\, fear\, embarrassment\, and more\, that is.. \n  \nJoin me to learn effective public speaking\, both online and in-person.\nYou’ll go from dreading public speaking to “this is totally doable!” \nYou’ll have opportunities to practice and improve your public speaking skills based on whatever your need is. For example\, this could include practicing your pitch\, your workshop\, or a speech\, as you wish. \nYour comfort and confidence levels will increase\, and you’ll get easy tips and techniques to boost audience engagement.   \nYou’ll have access 24/7 to a learning resource portal so you can continue to hone your skills long after the workshop is finished.  \n \n  \nIs your interest piqued?  Read on.\nIn this two-part workshop with me\, Lee-Anne Ragan\,  you will:\n\nUnderstand the essentials of public speaking\nGet tips on how to craft your message\nOvercome nerves and build your confidence through my A.B.C. method \nPractice 5.5 science-backed ways to calm your nerves in 60 seconds or less\nLearn how to grab and maintain your audience’s interest\nDiscover how to create engaging content  and deliver that content in engaging ways\nUncover how to use simple tech tools to support your public speaking (seriously\, if you don’t ooh and ahh with these magical tools\, I’ll be concerned for you)\nTake advantage of the opportunity to practice and receive customized feedback (if your blood pressure has just gone up with the mere thought of public speaking\, don’t worry\, the environment will be very safe and supportive)\n\n  \nFee\nThe cost for this two-part workshop\, including 24/7 access to all the workshop resources\, including a workbook and video recording\, is: \n\n$85.00 USD per person OR\n$150.00 ($75.00 USD each\, a savings of $20.oo) for two people\n\n\nQuestions?\nSimply reach out to me laragan (@) rpsinc.ca \n\nHow to register\nEasy peasy\, simply: \n\nClick here to register for one person ($85.00 USD) OR \nHere to register for two people ($150.00 USD)
