I am just putting together a swathe of lectures for this winter, aimed at all three sectors of my business – Business, Sailing and Life. I have a lot of talks in the past and decided to upgrade my skills with a touch of training. I chose Cordelia Ditton of www.voicebusinesstraining.co.uk to help me, and I am so pleased I did! I had a great day, and the training tackled many more areas than I had thought may be on the cards.
Now, I know how and when to relax before a speech, how my voice works and to warm up my vocal chords (by singing in the shower!) and how to present myself in those oh-so-critical first minutes of standing in front of an audience. What was also invaluable that Cordelia helped me to put the whole endeavour in a strategic context, and showed me ways of creating a cohesive talk. I also learnt the value of ‘the pause’ in punctuation to generate the full effect of the words spoken.
Above all, I had fun! If public speaking is a chore for you, award yourself a spot of voice training to gain confidence and capability.
