Attention: Entrepreneurs and professionals who are ready to take the leap from apprehensive to assured, and from shaky to secure!
Wouldn’t you love to radiate confidence as a speaker?
Whether you’re onstage, in a staff meeting, or mingling at a networking event, confidence can be the difference between being heard and remembered, and being forgotten the minute the meeting is over.
You reveal your lack of confidence through your posture, your voice, your facial expressions, your gestures, and how you interact (or don’t interact) with the audience.
Unfortunately, a speaker who lacks confidence will be disregarded and not taken seriously, no matter how much expertise you have.
Think about the confident people you know. They get respect, they get listened to, they’re persuasive — which means they get their way more often!
In fact, confident people inspire confidence in others!
So… how do you build confidence?
Through baby steps.
Through careful planning and preparation, embracing your uniqueness, trusting your gut, trying new things, getting out of your comfort zone, learning from missteps and acknowledging accomplishments.
All of these aspects of confidence will be addressed in my 8-week program:
SpeakUP! 8 Daily Challenges to Build Your Confidence Muscles at Work, at Home, and in Front of an Audience
“I attended Lisa’s SpeakUP! program in 2013 and it was all that I hoped it would be and more! I was so pleased with the relevant, confidence-building assignments provided and with the variety and number of helpful resources Lisa made available from week to week.
As an adult learner, the blend of synchronous online learning together with self-guided learning was perfect for me! Lisa was also timely in responding to participant comments on Facebook as posts were entered there. Her responses were enriching, enlightening, and encouraging. As a result of what I learned in this course, I was able to deliver a 3-hour lecture with all of the control, clarity, and skill I have long wished for.
Does this course deliver? Is it worth it? Based on my own experience, if you’re looking to enhance your public speaking skills and you’re willing to invest the time, I can answer both of those questions with a resounding YES!”

“Lisa is a master in speaker training. Her top notch resources, including blog posts, ebooks, videos and speaking challenges, address some of the most essential elements of good public speaking.
As someone who has been doing public speaking for nearly 20 years, I consider myself an ‘advanced’ student and I still learned a ton that I was able to apply to further improve my presentations.”

“If you want to engage audiences in an authentic way, Lisa is a gentle coach who stimulates your speaking craft in your own original way. I worked with her all year and would highly recommend her coaching sessions!
Lisa is a great mentor. Very helpful, insightful, and compassionate. As a former knee-knocking, white knuckle introvert, Lisa has provided steps and scripting to help ease me out of my shell. You will find tremendous guidance in her methods when you take her class!”

How does it work?
Whether you speak for your job, your business, or your favorite nonprofit organization, building confidence is a must if you truly want to impact your audiences and connections.
Is your lack of confidence keeping you:
Stuck in a rut?
Overlooked for promotions and career advancement?
Afraid of taking a risk, standing out or speaking up?
Wanting to break out of old habits that keep you in the shadows?
Feeling anxious about what might happen if you actually stepped into your own powerful presence?
Then this program is for you!
Each week, you will take on a specific confidence-building challenge, although most will not involve any public speaking!
With support, guidance, encouragement and lots of resources, you’ll quickly build your confidence through these fun challenges and interaction with other members of our private group.
For example:
Make eye contact with strangers (if you think that’s easy, there’s a tougher level!)
Be present with others (how often do you really do this?)
Review your image (this might get uncomfortable)
Speak up (yes, this is our main goal!)
Be prepared (there’s so much more to this than what you’re doing now)
And more…
The next program will be in 2016. Stay tuned.
Practice building your confidence muscles in meetings, at work, with friends, with family, at events, in the grocery store, and in any other place you spend time with people.
I offer several levels for each challenge, so that whether you speak regularly or infrequently, you can still participate at your own level.
This program is about getting you ready, so when the speaking engagement comes, you’ll face it with courage and excitement!
“As a seasoned speaker and business owner, I greatly benefited from Lisa’s SpeakUP program. Lisa reminded me of some of the basics that I had let fall to the wayside. The SpeakUP program gave me that gentle push to reach my speaking goal: to create a strong speaking platform that can generate business leads.
Plus, Lisa is very generous with multiple resources with each challenge. Lisa is supportive and encouraging.”

“I travelled today from Canada to the United States. At the airport I made it a point to look at the gate agents, and vendors using their name in conversation. The crowning moment came when I summoned the courage to engage the customs agent in a brief conversation as I cleared customs. I would never have thought to do so without taking this challenge. I bet he was surprised too!”

“Gave a short presentation to our advisory committee this week — I felt very well prepared on the content and everything went smoothly, but I was challenged on a point that I didn’t have too much information about.
Good news is that although I felt unprepared, I held my cool, admitted that I wasn’t sure and that this might be an opportunity for future collaboration with the questioner in an area of his expertise, and was able to continue. Feedback afterwards was very positive despite my disappointment in myself for not being prepared for everything!”

“I was inspired to compliment a committee member in her role as chair of a committee, and sent her an e-mail.
I also plan to take advantage of this challenge to speak up and request permission to attend a conference.”

“I judge people by their ‘covers’ and decide how to treat them based on that. This week, I want to “be present” in the way this wonderful quotation implies:
‘Instead of making others right or wrong, or bottling up right and wrong in ourselves, there’s a middle way, a very powerful middle way…. Could we have no agenda when we walk into a room with another person, not know what to say, not make that person wrong or right? Could we see, hear, feel other people as they really are? It is powerful to practice this way… true communication can happen only in that open space.’ Pema Chodron”
