No one has addressed what I do.

It's all TIME focused, not on the length you speak but how not doing it well makes you eat up minutes then go back for seconds.

You could speak for 60 minutes and still not say anything or you could speak for 5 minutes and blow people away.

It's about connection, content and delivery.

Other programs offer solutions that will attack this from the outside, with little impact whereas I attack this from the inside.

They will recommend things like "Everyone stand during the meeting"; "Make it a two pizza meeting, having no more in there than two pizzas will feed"; or "invite only those that need to be there" (duh!).

So now you have a room of pissed off people who all need to be there, standing, eating pizza while somebody else is up front droning thru their material, half of which didn't matter and the other half that won't be remembered because you haven't trained them. 

Oh, and bonus, you just wasted an hour at the cumulative price of all those in attendance.

Your meetings have become shampoo. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

These methods are like standing on the deck of the Titanic with a bucket instead of going down and patching the hole. This course patches the hole.

In TV News we had one and a half minutes to tell a story. You learn how to compellingly GET TO THE DAMN POINT.

That doesn't mean everything you do is shorter, it just means it's tighter, leaner. Puts more meat in your meetings and all you do from internal to external and client facing communications.

Plus, I am offering  you media training and I have been told by many that this alone is worth the value of the course.

I am teaching you how to be a better virtual communicator. I get it, as a professional speaker, it's damned hard to be engaging virtually. You ready to change that or do you want to keep having the same boring ones over and over?

You would have to hire several people to get the material I have put into this course and that would take more time and certainly come at a much higher price.

Even if you got training from well known speaking organizations you have to consider the amount of time spent going to those meetings plus cost! And they still won't cover all I do.

Typically, in those enviroments, even if you hustle, it will take you at least 2 years to get decent at speaking and it's a crap shoot on whether you hit a group with qualified helpers.

I have seen many who have been in those organizations for YEARS who STILL don't present well.

And the idea that you had Basic Public Speaking...forget it! Basic Public Speaking doesn't even fix the filler/killer words (ah, um) problem. It's what it's name implies: BASIC. 

Do you really want to go into an extraordinary opportunity armed with only "basic" skills? Where else in your life do you apply that logic?

My course is different because I give you 25 years of experience in 5 hours so you can speak like a pro but be heard like a friend and GET TO THE DAMN POINT!

"I'm not a speaker" is complete bullshit. Yes, you are.

If you communicate with others to provide information or attempt to persuade them, you are a speaker and a salesperson.

Nonprofit organizations:

You need two life bloods: money and volunteers. I have been told, by several, that the inability of the staff, and volunteers, to be able to clearly and effectively communicate thier mission, is a huge problem that has cost them both of those life bloods.

Train your team and fix the problem. 

My favorite stories to cover were nonprofits because it was good news all the time. I got to help the helpers help others and I still get to in a whole new way!

CHARITYVILLAGE.COM says:

Giving effective presentations can contribute greatly to a nonprofit’s success.

In fact, presentations serve as an important avenue for organizations to share their stories, build partnerships, garner community support, and acquire new donors or volunteers.

Although most nonprofits recognize the need to take advantage of such opportunities, their presentations can sometimes fall flat.

One main challenge nonprofits face is that they need to prove their value in a way other industries don’t.

For Entreprenuers, Small Businesses and Corporations: 

At the very least all of your key players need this (but so does everyone on your team!) to start saving you TIME which saves you money. But, you might not believe this cliche' so lets try this:

Other reasons: Want to ace a job interview? Advance in your company? Have better communications with co-workers?

The list goes on.

All you have to do is search this topic on the web and you will find tons of reasons why, but no one else, and I mean no one, will teach you how to GET TO THE DAMN POINT doing this.
