*Accredited with the Quebec Chamber of Financial Securities

Great communicators get more business! There is a great demand for presentation skills in business, but it's rare that people receive training in the art of public speaking.
 
When you speak, you want to capture attention, maintain interest and get your message across in a way that's memorable and motivating. This means developing solid content AND interesting delivery. Karen’s professional training seminar can help you to:

  • Develop strategies to open and close meetings, presentations and speeches
  • Feel more confident speaking in meetings, presentations or one-on-one
  • Increase your persuasiveness and influence by speaking with images
  • Become the kind of speaker that others remember and want to hear again
  • Improve your “delivery” so the content will be heard and remembered

    Length:  7 hours

    Shhh! Listen…Cha Ching!

    If you equate selling with telling, you are likely not getting the results you could from your business. Most people think they listen well, but the truth is that most people don't listen well at all. As one comedian said, “I don’t really listen. I’m either speaking or I’m waiting.”

    Prioritizing listening over talking in a sales situation is easier said than done. Improve professional and personal relationships by learning how to:

  • Listen to understand, not to respond
  • Think like a customer
  • Watch while you listen
  • Use silence to your advantage
