Public speaking: Motivating an audience

1 day intensive course at the Institute of Directors, 116 Pall Mall, London, SW1Y 5ED, United Kingdom, Tuesday 11th January 2011, 09:00-17:00 (coffee from 08:30

Throughout history speech has been a major form of social influence and control, as people have rallied around those who could motivate an audience of one or many. Motivating a team of staff, players, family, colleagues is a hugely beneficial life skill to learn.

The purpose of this course is to build on the 'Public speaking: You can do it' training course by focusing specifically on a speaker's ability to motivate an audience, particularly one which might not be initially receptive to a message. Conducted within a supportive and encouraging environment, this one-day course will focus on the following:

• To constuct a speech that will motivate an audience

• To motivate an audience to reach new heights

• Answering challenging questions from the audience

• Sharpening public speaking skills, particularly in front of an audience that might not be receptive to an ideal

• Evaluating others

• Impromptu speaking
• Being a Toastmaster / Master of Ceremony

Delegates will benefit from tuition from a facilitator who is a member of Toastmasters International, a global organisation devoted to the art of public speaking. The facilitator is an Advanced Communicator and was runner up in the UK & Ireland Public Speaking Championships 2006. At the end of the session, each delegate will be provided with a comprehensive booklet that delves deeper into the art of communication and speaking in public.
