PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Public Speaking for Coaches – Strategies for Success

Public speaking is a powerful tool for coaches…

• It can help us generate revenue, new contacts and consulting opportunities.
• It enables us to get up in front of our potential clients and explain what we do.
• It provides an opportunity for people to get to know us and understand how we can make a difference in their lives.

In this interactive presentation, you’ll learn strategies for developing your skills and how to market yourself as a speaker. There will be at least 15 minutes set aside for  Q&A and sharing our own “lessons learned” from our adventures in public speaking.
