Clarity, Confidence and Creativity: Persuasion Power for Leaders Who Speak
Clarity, Confidence and Creativity: Persuasion Power for Leaders Who Speak
In this era of zip-fast messages and flash-forward friendships, amid the daily scatter of informational confetti, we begin to sense a counter-force . . . a yearning for authentic relationship – for real words and genuine expression. We see that we still lead best when we connect with one another personally. And we see that all of our glib sophistication hasn’t taken away one of humankind’s most persistent worries: the anxiety of public speaking, and its side-effects –the fear of getting it wrong, the missed opportunities that follow ineffective preparation, over-confidence and deficits of confidence. In other words, speaking in front of people is still a challenge for most of us.
Effective public speaking remains essential for leaders in most fields, enhancing the reach of any organization and the value of any career. In this presentation, speaking coach Maureen Merrill shares her three principles of powerful speaking: Clarity, Confidence and Creativity. She will discuss the attitudes and approaches that immediately clear the way to speaking that persuades, inspires, and creates openings for partnership.
