Ray Franklin Speech Training

“You want me to speak to a large audience?”

You never expected to be in this position.  Your boss always does a great job at these meetings but never in a million years did you anticipate having to stand up there as well.  As a product manager or specialist with the firm you are now charged with the responsibility to communicate your knowledge at the next meeting.

 Delivering presentations to large groups was probably not on your resume, in your job description or on the skills required for the job.  It is now!

 This is not a book on “How to Write” an effective speech, but rather, “How to Deliver” a knockout presentation with confidence.

 We’ve all seen what happens when politicians, clergy, even co-workers stand before an audience and deliver a message that is interesting, informative and welcomed by all.

 We’ve also seen what happens when someone is ill-prepared and unsuccessful delivering a message on stage.

 You won’t find an “easy” answer here, but you will benefit from this book’s proven ”toolbox” of successful speaking techniques. When used and practiced, these “tools” will result in great experiences as you speak in front of any audience.

 
 

If I have to use a script - what format is best at the lectern?

Here is an example of a well formatted script to take to the stage.

Don’t create your script in this form, use it in the PRINT mode to be must useful. Details in this sample script.

How to effectively speak from a lectern is included in the Kindle book “On-The-Job Speech Training” available on Amazon.
