Style Self-Assessment (Two-Hour Session)

There are those of us who have the opportunity to make presentations on a regular basis on a professional, civic or social basis. Some presenters are accomplished public speakers but need assistance building self-awareness of their personal presentation style. In fact, even those who regularly receive glowing reviews for their public speaking ability occasionally need to take a self-assessment to evaluate their personal effectiveness. Self-assessments enable public speakers to step back and take an objective look at their personal communication skills and understand where improvements might be needed or changes should be made. The two-hour Public Speaking Style Self-Assessment training program is designed to provide a quick self-analysis of personal ability that leads to an action plan for future improvement.

Taught by a senior level instructor who models all concepts and topics discussed, our Public Speaking Style Self-Assessment is designed as an informative and fast-paced training program that will equip presenters with tools provide an immediate impact on their presentations. The self-assessment instrument we utilize helps identify personal communication skills and aligns findings with presentations best practices. A benchmark videotaped presentation helps reinforce discussions by enabling presenters to see themselves during an actual public speaking event. Coupled with the self-assessment instrument, participants will be able to take positive steps towards taking their presentations to the next level. The workshop will benefit those who must speak on a regular basis to diverse audiences or deliver one-off presentations to co-workers or business partners. All improvement concepts taught in this class are applicable to nearly any presentation situation. Seminar learning activities such as the self-assessment instrument, group discussions, exercises and other activities help reinforce the solid presentation skills already possessed by seminar participants.
