Develop Your Presentation Skills

and increase your value to your company and career

  • Would better speaking skills help you advance your career or company?

  • How do you feel knowing your presentations are dull, boring, and ineffective?

  • Are you embarrassed because your speaking skills aren’t on par with your other abilities?

  • Do you risk your credibility when you speak in front of others?

  • Is your career progressing as quickly as you had envisioned, or is your lack of speaking skills holding you back?

  • Are you okay with jeopardizing your reputation and your success?

Effective presentation skills are your success multiplier

 

Some experts suggest that developing powerful and compelling presentation skills increases one’s value in business by as much as 50 percent. And while mastering presentation skills certainly benefits your career, not having them can be as equally devastating.

 

Those less skilled will continue to struggle

 

The fact is your presentation skills are more critical than ever before. And the further up the corporate ladder you are — or strive to be — the more vital your presentation skills are. Ultimately, those who best communicate their messages, credibility, and ideas will advance their careers, while those less skilled will continue to struggle.

success is a choice

According to Forbes, 70% of CEOs surveyed agree that presentation skills are critical for an executive’s success. Yet, Gallup polls indicate that only 13% of employees strongly agree that their leadership communicates effectively. See the problem?

public speaking coach coaching

Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Richard Branson point to public speaking as the most valuable business skill for building a career.

 

“My public speaking course was arguably the best investment I made in my life.”

– Warren Buffett

I know firsthand the value of presentation skills in business.

 

When I entered the business world, I quickly realized that my lack of presentation skills kept me at a disadvantage. I tried to overcome this deficiency by overcompensating in other areas, but it was to no avail. I was working harder and getting nowhere fast.

 

I had a decision to make. I could ignore my situation and ultimately look back on my career with regret, or I could also develop persuasive public speaking skills and enjoy the level of success I had envisioned. I decided on the latter.

 

I connected with a professional public speaking coach, and I’m so glad I did! Working with my coach, I developed the skills I needed to move my career forward, and I did it at a much faster pace than I ever would have by myself.

 

You can do the same!
