Public speaking. It’s something we all have to do at some point in our careers. I’ve certainly done my share. Sometimes it’s been a nightmare for me, other times an absolute delight. More than subject matter, audience and often even my own preparation, what seems to be key for me performing well and effectively engaging my listeners is how comfortable I feel just being myself while speaking.
Millie Baker and Daniel Kingsley of Presence Training facilitate and run workshops, practice evenings and one-on-one sessions designed to help people speak in public, give presentations and communicate with natural presence and deep self-confidence. Whether you’re hoping to equip your colleagues or employees with the skills to communicate with clarity and confidence or you’re eager to learn for yourself how to speak assertively in any environment and communicate your message with impact, Milie and Daniel offer training beyond mere techniques to make authentic connections with people you encounter.
Personally, I would love to figure out how to better “tap into” whatever it is that’s enabled me to be myself when speaking in public. When I’m on I’m on but when I’m not I’m really not and I’ve yet to truly understand what makes the difference for me. I hope to attend a Presence course soon. I know being more aware of how I interact with others and being able to get my point across better would do me a world of good in myriad ways.
