Whether you choose to lead, or have leadership demanded of you, one thing becomes alarmingly apparent as you conduct your duties. People take what you say to heart. They take more account of everything you say, and the precise way you say it. One of the burdens of leadership is that you no longer have leeway for speaking half-formed thoughts. Rightly or not, people expect more of you.
Few people, even among senior executives, are naturally outstanding as motivational speakers. You can differentiate your company and stand out amongst peers by becoming the very best speaker you can be. Small changes in perception often have a huge effect in response. Public speaking may be the only way you can directly influence many of your customers and perhaps some of your employees. You can win more mind share, more support, and more customers, through small improvements in your skills.

preparation and helps us to spend more time in practical exercises during the
course. Throughout the two days, you will be
involved in discussions and exercises. You will have seven opportunities
to practise your speaking skills and incorporate new learning.
Each presentation will be recorded on videotape for personal feedback. You will hear constructive observations from the course leader and other participants.
