It is crucial for you, as a Leader, to engage people in your mission and to convince people to take action to achieve your vision. Leaders with positive values must learn to communicate with self-confidence and authenticity to be successful. Only the leaders who are persuasive, eloquent and credible can win the game in the modern world.
The course is structured in three progressive modules:
Module 1: Communicate as a Leader! (Level 1): 3 days.
Module 2: Advanced Communication Techniques (Level 2): 2 days.
Module 3: Specialized Communication on Specific Topics (Level 3): 1 day.
Depending on the trainees’ experience level and needs, the three modules can be integrated into a unique training event, lasting 2 or 3 days, tailored to achieve specific objectives.
Module 1: Communicate as A Leader! (Level 1)
Module one is made up of ten lessons with practical examples, real time exercises and mind training we will perform together in 3 days. You will learn how to prepare your content, how to speak, how to use your body language and how to control your emotions when on stage or during any presentations. You will learn how to be inspiring, influent and resilient in front of your target audience.
With the Module 1 of the training, you will learn:
- How to structure your presentations, speeches and pitches to engage, persuade, influence and lead your target audience
- How to prepare and remember the content of your speeches easily
- How to use your voice and vocal expression to speak as a Leader
- How to use your body language to convey power and energy
- How to organise the practical matters to be ready for your speeches
- How to be calm and self-confident when on stage
- How to train your mind to Communicate as a Leader!
In support to the course, I provide a workbook that recaps the content of the whole training and will be used during all practical exercises in the class. This workbook is as well a powerful tool to track your progress and to perform the recommended exercises regularly after the course. It provides a structured training plan based on the exercises performed during the training, to continue your development after the course just investing a few hours of your time each week.
