This workshop is specifically designed to give you
access to fundamental tools, techniques and insights
that cater directly to effectiveness and credibility as
leaders and communicators.
Introduction Questions

Introduction Questions
• Do you ever have to speak impromptu? How
well do you do with that?
• Do you have trouble memorizing? Reading off
a teleprompter?
• Are you someone who needs to move a lot
when they speak? How’s your command of
the stage?
Prerequisite:
Become the charismatic speaker and communicator
you’ve always wanted to be.
Whether you are in sales, marketing, or the CEO of
your company, public speaking skills are
immediately visible and can determine much of the
outcome of your success.
What will be covered today:
• Public speaking – What is it and Why is it so
important.
• Public Speaking in 4 easy Fundamentals:
–Public vs Theatrical Speaking
–Communication: Intention vs Emotions
–The Stage
–Creating Presence
Distinguishing “PUBLICNESS” when it
comes to Public Speaking.
Public speaking is a craft…
…And an Art Form
I relate to it as a sport and a performance act as well.
Step One:
Distinguishing the public or theatrical realm is the First
Fundamental.
• We are viewed through the eye or optic of the
theatre.
• Public performance is a borrowed convention.
• We did not create a new one for business
interaction. We still obey the same principles that
were handed down to us by the Greeks.
We build our credibility from the
physical up.
•Gravity
•Balance
•Movement
•Posture
•Gestures
•Coordination
•Direction
•Destination
Step Two:
Second fundamental: We communicate through
what we experience NOT what we wish or intend.
• Intentions are second to
physical and emotional
experience.
• Taking command of our
Physical Experience is Key
Step Three:
Third fundamental: The bare and empty nature
of the stage, boardroom or television set does
not allow for our “personality traits” to be
visible as they are in life.
Step Four:
Fourth fundamental: Create or presence what
you want and do not bring or presence what
you do not want.
Basic Verbs:
Stay
Be heard and Seen
Anchor
Plant
Take Charge
Serve
Share
Include
Describe
Teach
Step Four: Continued
• You must come first, then your environment,
then audience and then content.
• Basics of intentionality. “Actions are the
messengers of our wishes.” We don’t always
have command of our intentions behind our
actions.
• We were born to communicate!
Summary of Key Points
• Communication is valuable for the other hence
the importance of a good communication style
and skills.
• Being at cause rather at the effect in
communication.
• Voice is one aspect of communication and it is
essential.
• Each person has a unique voice and a unique way
of expressing that voice or voices and it includes
actions.
Summary of Key Points
• We are as much defined by what we are saying as
by what we are NOT saying.
• What we say or don’t says lives in the
atmosphere and aura or energy field of who we
are.
• Each person’s energy field is a bubble that
stretches twice as wide as your arm’s length all
around you.
• Body language is made up of: postures, gestures,
facial expressions, voice tone and use of space
which includes movement.
Summary of Key Points
• In any place or situation I am busy staying
or busy leaving.
• In any place or situation I belong to myself
or I don’t physically, emotionally and
mentally
• In any place or situation I am tense or
natural and free flowing or fluid
Summary of Key Points
• In any place or situation I am in charge of
myself physically or I am not
• In any place or situation I create affinity or
I don’t
• In any place or situation I am hiding or I
am revealing myself physically,
emotionally and mentally
