You are making history!
Private Coaching in Public Speaking
Less than 0.1% of the world's population has gone through professional coaching in Public Speaking! This means that you are making history and you should be proud of yourself. The purpose of this simple Welcome e-Pack is to help you prepare for the course.
01
Get Enough Rest
The most important item to bring for this iconic learning experience is a refreshed you! The truth is a tired body or fatigued mind is of no use in a learning environment. Please ensure that the day(s) leading to the commencement of the programme, and especially the night before, that you get enough rest and go to bed early.
02
Arrive Early
Be prepared and ready to go LIVE five minutes before the course starts. Your camera for the session must be turned on and you must be fully ready to participate. Please check your time zone to ensure that you join the session at the right time.
03
Camera, Lights, Action!
In order to optimise this learning experience, ensure that a) your face is clear and bright by facing a window through which daylight comes through or using a lighting device such as a ring light; b) the strength of your internet signal must be good; and c) there should be no noise or distraction.
04
Retention
Our years of experience have repeatedly proven that attendees of conferences, workshops and seminars tend to misplace handbooks, workbooks and publications issued at such events. However, they forever cherish their favourite diary and/or notebook. Therefore, we implore you to bring that favourite notebook of yours along so you can "ink" those powerful nuggets and learning points. This is pivotal to retention of what you learn as people retain 50% of what they see as opposed to 10% of what they hear. When you write something down, you are the first to see it! Hence, the need to write down those teachable moments.
05

Pick three (3) new English words of your choice and learn the following about them:

You will give a 3-minute presentation about your company, institution or organisation. This presentation must be made on the first day of the course and does not have to be extemporaneous.
