About
Make An Impact. Convey Confidence. Command The Room.
Professionals who aspire to communicate better know the benefits. They know improved communication builds confidence. With greater confidence comes credibility. With credibility their influence elevates and the return on investment and impact increases.
Because professionals lack the charisma of a polished speaker or the skills to convey their ideas in a compelling manner, all Stand and Deliver Asheville trainings include 3 key components.
Message
Content organization and clarity of concept is essential to convey your idea or message. Spark your audience's attention and keep them captivated with streamlined content through my coaching, editing services, training program and book, How to Make a Speech.
“Barrie’s expertise in streamlining content, organizing my ideas, and aligning the slides was remarkably efficient and on point. Her coaching gave me the benefit of feeling confident in my content and relaxed in my delivery.” Richard Fort, Architect .Messenger
“How” you deliver your pitch, interview, or speech is equally important to “What” you say. I teach 5 key delivery methods that bring more command and vitality to the presenter’s delivery style.
"I appreciate the passion you brought to the training. I also appreciate a class without writing in workbooks, but actually doing and being evaluated on the spot." ~Allyson Monsour, EngineerMastery
Effective public speaking goes beyond compelling content and powerful presentation. Self-mastery is demonstrated through executive presence. Through instruction and interaction, I guide you to increase self-awareness, mindfulness, and attunement to others. These skills help you become a leader who is at conscious choice how to respond, react, listen, and speak in any given situation.
"The training was simple and straight forward and had a powerful effect on my comfort level - my belief that I can bring my message to the world." ~Cheri Torres, Author
An attentive speaking coach who will customize your learning experience.
The final piece required is you!
