“Whether
you’ve been speaking for years or just starting out – you
need to learn “The Skills.” This book [and
program] explains what you’ve been doing wrong and more
importantly, how to change those behaviors for good. Your

you.”

Excerpt:
Ever hear about maintaining “eye contact” with the audience?
The
way that 99% of us learned
public speaking leads to not only increased fear and anxiety,
but also robs us of our ability to focus on our thoughts and
delivery, too.
Instead,
discover the simple
presentation skills that bond you to your audience while delivering
your message with razor-sharp precision.

Customer Review: 
____________________________
Can't
recommend enough,
"I
am a technical trainer by trade. After some very disparaging and
pointed criticism of my presentation style, I videotaped myself to
see if these harsh comments had any merit. I was pretty distraught.
Worse than that, I had another important training presentation in
less than a week.
"I
did some hasty internet searches to find some kind of comprehensive
public speaking training and lucked upon this DVD. The DVD cover
purported to show you 'everything you need to know' about how to
deliver presentations and keep the audience with you
'every
step of the way.'
"I got the 90 minute DVD overnighted to me and watched it as
soon as I got it. I was prepared for a lot of the typical public
speaking conventions - make eye contact with the audience, etc.
"I was prepared to be quite bored by the DVD but was willing to
sit through it because I was desperate. Also, I am an insanely
compulsive note taker and fully expected to jot down all the useful
bits of information I could get as I watched the DVD.
"I was wrong on both accounts. I was absolutely riveted by the
speaker, Doug Jeffreys. I could see at once that the
unconventional but totally sensible techniques he showed were
immediately useable. More impressive that that, I didn't have to
take any notes. The presentation was so effective that I actually
learned by just watching and listening to him. As a trainer, I
absolutely aspire to this!
"I took public speaking classes in college and I've read a few
books over the years on public speaking. I have NEVER come across
the simple but effective approach he uses. He also explained
quite clearly why this approach works.
"That sealed the deal for me and I immediately applied my
techniques to a training presentation I had days later.
"I was taken aback by the reaction I got from my audience. I
noticed that many people were looking at me intensely - and their
gaze was not letting up! After the presentation was over, a few of
them came up to me and actually thanked me for my effective
training.
"Since then, I have had quite a few more training sessions and
each one has been overwhelmingly positive. I get comments like 'I
thought I was going to be bored to tears but you had me interested
the entire time' or 'this was the best presentation I've seen'. The
funny thing is I haven't changed the content
of my training. The only change is the presentation skills I
acquired from the one-time viewing of the DVD.
"I give the DVD 5 stars out of 5 because it does what it
purports to do - show you 'everything you need to know' about how to
deliver presentations. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone who
has to speak in front of an audience."
An important
note:
"Channeling"
your fears?
If
you've been to other websites that offer public speaking training,
invariably you will read something about "controlling" the
natural fear you feel when speaking to a group. Most (if not all) of
these sites use words like getting the butterflies in your stomach
to "fly in formation" or similar metaphors designed to
have you work with the fear they claim all speakers feel before they
present.
You
will never hear anything about "controlling" or
"managing" or "channeling" your fear from us.
That's because the fear that people experience when delivering to
audiences is the direct result of the physical behaviors they engage
in when attempting to speak to a group.
The
reality is, humans actually CAN NOT speak to groups, because we
are simply not wired to do so!
In
our unique (some would say contrarian) curriculum, you will learn
that it's not possible to alter the way your body responds when
confronted with certain stimuli. When faced with the
"one-against-many" scenario that being up in front of a
group triggers, your body responds in ways designed to help you
survive, and always will, regardless of all the mental tricks and
"powers of positive thinking" you throw against it.
Adrenaline rules!
Sound
hopeless? Certainly not.
The
key, as you will learn and practice, is to never attempt to speak to
a group! Although you can't change how you respond to a given
stimuli, you can control what stimuli you choose to expose
yourself to! So instead of trying to speak to a group
of individuals, you will learn to speak only to the individuals
in the group - something your brain and body are well hard-wired to
do.
Try
to control or channel your fear, or learn how to eliminate that fear
in the first place?
You
decide.

"And
now for something completely different..." -
John
Cleese
|
|
Ever wonder how
your career or life might be different if you were a confident and comfortable public speaker?
Have you ever watched a truly engaging speaker and said to yourself, “I wish I could do
that”? Have you dismissed the possibility because you've
believed that speaking well is a talent and not a skill? What if you could
learn to be a great speaker for minimal expense, and be able to practice the skills without anyone's knowing it?
What if you could learn to design slides that every member of
the audience could follow every step of the way? And then receive
1 full hour of live one-on-one
two-way video coaching
from anywhere in the world? Would that be worth 10 to 15 minutes of your time a few days a week?
Understand:
the vast majority of people who have to speak before groups engage in
the same bad habits – habits based on bad advice and negative re-enforcements that often go back to unfortunate experiences from childhood.
Habits are not skills!
Skills:
Have a job?
You need The Skills.
Have a job, want better job?
You absolutely must have The Skills.
Out of a job, need a job & looking for a job?
You are sadly wasting your time without The Skills!
The
Job / Skills Pyramid
To be a really great speaker, you must toss out most of what you’ve learned about speaking in public and embrace a set of surprisingly simple physical
behaviors. No rocket science or musical
ability required. No fuzzy logic or neuro-reprogramming.
Just basic actions that anyone can learn to emulate. Together, these behaviors are known as
"The Skills", and when you
learn them, you will never look at a speaker, or the art of speaking, in the same way ever again.
PublicSpeakingSkills.com has trained tens of thousands of people
internationally from business,
education, government, military and the clergy in
"The Skills", and now we'd like to invite you
to join this well-respected group.
The great news here is threefold:
-
All great speakers since
John F. Kennedy have and do employ "The Skills". (Bill Clinton
is a master of
"The Skills", as was Ronald Reagan.) If you’ve ever been really moved at
a meeting, a lecture, or your house of worship, you’ve experienced a speaker trained in
"The Skills".
-
"The
Skills" can be learned, meaning that no matter what you
might think is holding you back now doesn’t matter. Skills, as opposed to talent,
are acquired
through practice.
-
Employing
"The Skills" requires considerably less energy and brainwork than what
you are doing
now!
And here’s perhaps the best news of all:
You can acquire "The Skills" on your own, in both your personal time and while at work, and practice the skills without anyone’s knowing you’re doing
so! Only when you feel that you’ve practiced in private enough do you need to put
"The Skills" to work actually speaking to a group.
And once you begin using "The Skills" in public,
you’ll get a little bit better every single time.
Enroll me now!
Have
you ever been to a large presentation, meeting or speech and
come away feeling that throughout the talk, the speaker seemed
to keep coming back and speaking directly to you? Even though
the audiences was in the hundreds, maybe thousands? You will learn how to do just that - how to make every member of a
large audience feel personally engaged. And as hard
as it might be to
believe, you'll do that by using the exact
same technique as you'll use when speaking to 2 or 3 people!
One
of the great things about "The Skills" is that they
are 'infinitely scalable'. No matter what size group
you're speaking to, you do precisely the same things - only the
more people in the audience, the more positive feedback you'll receive
for your efforts. And speaking of effort, another
surprising truth about "The Skills" is that
you
will be exerting significantly less physical and mental energy,
which also results in a positive feedback loop as you physically
display the confidence you'll be feeling.
You
see, the vast majority of speakers are not
interesting, or effective, because they attempt to do way too
many things at one time when in front of a crowd.
People who own "The Skills" have learned to let go of most of
the behaviors average speakers engage in and find the peace and comfort
of 'unitasking' - doing ONE thing at a time. You will
learn this in Lesson 2 and build on it from there.
Don't
let anyone tell you good things only come from hard work. Most speakers work way too hard for their own (and their
audience's) good. Rule #1 of
"The Skills" states that if you're working too hard, you're doing it wrong!
"We
show people how to look good, sound good, and
feel
confident & comfortable just being themselves."
What
to do: Regardless
of your current level, you can
acquire "The Skills" simply by enrolling in our 4-part eCourse.
For each lesson you’ll receive an email link to a specially configured
set of chapters from our on-site training workbook, plus a set of exercises that you
practice anytime, anywhere,
without anyone’s knowing that you're doing so! Included in your tuition are your own copies of our two best selling DVD's,
"90 Minutes to Killer Presentation Skills" & "Conquering Death by
PowerPoint" (which, alternatively, you can purchase from our website or Amazon.com for $99 each).

Viewing these DVD's will reinforce the skills you'll learn during the
e-course, and by watching the speaker "do it right" you will also visually incorporate the ideas presented.
You'll also receive your own copy of the new book, Killer
Presentation Skills, which not only goes into greater detail
in all aspects of the presentation process, but also includes
in-depth insights into topics not covered in the computer-based eCourse.
The book alone also contains:

don't confuse this live coaching with other online training
programs that have you calling, emailing - or even messaging - back and
forth with a remote instructor with whom you never actually
speak. The two-way video technology we use allows you
to present to your group while your coach virtually sits at the
same table, exchanging feedback and conversing with you in real,
visual time. And unlike in a classroom or "open
enrollment" training scenario, 100%
of the coaching time is devoted to you!
Afterwards,
you will receive both a Certificate of Completion, as well
as a written evaluation of your mastery of "The
Skills", emphasizing both your strengths and areas worthy of
further refinement. In
many ways, both the quality and quantity of learning you'll
receive in "The Skills" eCourse Live! will
exceed what you would experience as a participant in an on-site
class! All at a price either you or your employer can
afford.

There
are no pre-requisites; no prior public speaking or presentation
skills training is required nor presumed. Our
“benchmarking” technique allows you to capitalize on your
best traits and re-direct your old public speaking style for
positive results. Everybody, regardless of abilities, will
learn the specific presentation skills necessary to drive your
message home and make your next presentation a memorable
experience for all.
This class even helps those experienced with
presentations, and who have had prior public speaking training,
to take their skills to the next level - to become a member of a
unique and exclusive club, those speakers who are known to have
"The Skills". In fact, some of our most
enthusiastic practitioners are people who had been trainers or
speakers for years, and who came to realize only after the
training what they'd been missing all that time. (Please see
the video review by Trainer, left.)
