Craft a Crystal Clear Message

Well Said coaching shows you how to quickly organize your content into crystal clear points that have meaning for your audience. When people listen to you speak, they search first for meaning—how does your message affect or benefit them? What do you want your audience to do in response to your message?

 

If executive-level listeners can’t find meaning and value in your presentation, or if it takes you too long to get there, they will interrupt, disengage, or leave.  That’s why Well Said’s coaching begins with the meaning of what you say and crafting a crystal clear message that communicates value to the audience.

 

Present with Confidence

You’ve crafted a crystal clear message. Now it’s time to present yourself and your ideas with confidence and credibility.

 

Slides and words are important, but research shows the majority of audience-impact comes from body language and vocal attributes.  It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it.   Well Said coaching helps you eliminate mannerisms that jeopardize your credibility and equips you with the top 10 essentials of effective body language and voice.

 

You’ll learn the nuances of effective eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, posture, body movement, voice tone, pace, projection, pausing, and eliminating filler words.  Even though you may feel nervous on the inside, the audience will never know because of how confident you look and sound on the outside!

Convey Executive Presence

If you want to be seen as a leader, you have to look, sound and act like one.
Recent research shows Executive Presence (EP) is a crucial requirement for building credibility with senior leaders, earning a seat at the C-suite table, and gaining career advancement. What is it?

 

EP is a combination of three key elements: appearance, communication, and gravitas.  Well Said coaching develops your EP so that when you speak, people listen. To influence others, the power of your presence must match the power of your ideas.

Confidence

As an introvert, I’ve always been very nervous when speaking and didn’t think I could be a good presenter. Darlene brought out my natural abilities, taught me how to manage the butterflies, and transformed me into a confident speaker.
