Speak Easy
Confidence is a critical element for anyone to be successful and is a predictor of performance at work and in life.
Mike Catton designed Speak Easy in 2009 and has delivered it 50+ times since then in various formats to over 2,000 people. It is one of his favourite programs since people visibly change during the 2 days, developing confidence and self-esteem. By the end of this practical course expect to be comfortable standing in front of a group delivering a presentation that is engaging and effective. You’ll be amazed at how easy it can be as you master the art of speaking in public, telling your story to shape your organisation and make your brand stand out.
Act courageously now to overcome fear and grow in confidence today.
Who is Speak Easy For?
If you need to speak with or influence others in order to achieve your goals then this is the course for you. Speak Easy is for leaders who want to inspire teams, facilitators who want to engage audiences and sales professionals who need to influence buyers. Of course, Speak Easy is just as useful outside work too, whether that be speaking at a family wedding or coaching your kids soccer team.
It covers all the bases from content design and story creation through to awesome delivery and audience engagement. You will get all your speaking questions answered and have lots of practice. The practice of each skill we teach is the aspect of the course that makes it unique and most impactful for you. You won’t just know what makes a great speaker, you will be on the path to being a great speaker. Our goal is for you to be confident and persuasive.
