Networking Presence Teleclass

People do business with those they know like and trust—they can't like you or trust you if they don't know you.

Networking is the very best way for the most people to get to know you. Although networking, like public speaking, is one of those activities that everyone knows will forward your career and increase your business, many people still find it challenging.

It doesn't have to be challenging for you anymore, when you know how to use these three secrets of Networking Presence:

• The one thing that makes you more interesting than anyone else in the room
• The secret to feeling comfortable with anyone
• The single most effective conversation starter

As an added bonus, you'll also receive The 7 Deadly Sins of Networking and What to Do About Them by Maia’s colleague, Heather Taylor, of the Greater Akron Chamber.

Conquer Your Speaking Challenges

If you’re a business owner, business leader or direct sales professional, your ability to speak in public is your most powerful business asset. Speaking will increase your sales –to both external and internal customers—by increasing your visibility. People do business with people they know like and trust—as a result of your speaking skill, you get more customers, more business opportunities and, ultimately, more money.

If speaking in public is a challenge for you, you might be suffering from Speaking Stress. You can tell you have Speaking Stress when you have one or more of these Top Three Speaking Challenges:

1. “I get so nervous when I have to speak that my mind goes blank.”
2. “I can't think on my feet when I get a question I'm not expecting.”
3. “My audience isn't engaged and I don't know what to do.”

These challenges show up in business speakers all the time—they keep smart, talented people from sharing their knowledge and skill with the people who need it the most. If these are your challenges, you have lots of company.

PowerSpeak is the antidote to Speaking Stress.

Since 1999, 100% of the people who have taken this course have left with a measurable increase in their speaking confidence and skill. None of them are professional speakers, yet they have found that their ability to speak confidently has allowed them to make more sales, speed up their professional progress and increase their business success. If you want to get more speaking practice and join that group of confident speakers, you can do it one day.

Morning:

1. Identify your speaking challenges (the purpose of the course is to address all of them).
2. Learn the top three strategies of great speakers so you can harness them for yourself.
3. Discover the Secret Skill that will transform your speaking challenges into confidence.

Afternoon:

1. Prepare for your speaking practice with a structured experience.
2. Speaking practice, with coaching and feedback.
3. Revisit your speaking challenges to see how you have transformed them in the practice so you can do it again, every time you speak.

Picture yourself with a deep feeling of confidence, connection and enjoyment, in front of thoroughly engaged audience—every time you give a presentation. That’s what you can have when you complete this course.
