Overview

Confident public speaking and communication skills are among the top factors that determine success in business today. The positive impact of great speaking reaches far beyond professional accountability. It can transform the way you see yourself and consequently, inspire others.

Many people shy away from speaking in public and from leadership opportunities because they were never taught how to be themselves in public or communicate effectively. Unleash your true speaking potential by understanding the nature of speaking and communicating. Who we are in public is never who we are in private, at work or in social circles. We need a buffer to elevate us to the artificial and confronting experience public exposure can be.

Public speaking is a borrowed theatrical convention. When giving a speech or presentation, you are being viewed through the eye or optical viewpoint of a theatrical experience. This interpretive mechanism cannot be changed. Your personal, social or private self cannot be identified readily when you are in the spotlight.

Effective speaking and communicating is not rocket science. Speaking and communicating in public begin with the understanding of the medium within which you are expressing yourself; very much like swimming requires a solid handle on the nature of water and its properties. This book bridges the gap between knowing the path and walking the path.

To communicate and speak effectively is rooted in presence and the genuine accountability of being the focus of attention. All great messages have to be articulated through body language and voice power. Therefore, one needs to be well versed in and thoroughly aware of what physical and emotional components best express and deliver the intended message. This book delivers insights which bring lasting advancements in powerful communication, personal effectiveness and authentic self-expression.

Learn to deliver presentations, speeches and key everyday communications with a genuine sense of ease, power and freedom. The strength of this approach is that it draws a great deal of its energy from the performing arts and specifically stage acting. While I do not intend to turn speakers or business people into actors, the number one ingredient in any effective presentation, speech or one-on-one communication is the clear command and taking charge of yourself and what you intend to communicate or express.

In difficult times and an atmosphere of globalization, the training and empowerment of business professionals are increasingly becoming fundamental strategic issues. Leadership, presence, accountability, creativity, innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, personal power, superior communication skills, open-mindedness, inspiration, motivation and so on…are now expected qualities for the new century. Adapting to change and thinking in action are acquired skills not just talents.

• You will Strengthen your Confidence and Trust in your Ability to Present and Communicate Effectively.

About the Author

Eric Stone is the Founder/CEO of Speakers & Artists International, Inc.; a California Corporation delivering advanced training programs and strategic consulting in the arenas of public speaking, communication, performance and personal leadership development. A long-time professional Stage, Television and Voice-Over Actor, Mr. Stone is the Founder of the Hollywood Actors Studio where he has been lecturing, directing and developing actors for film & television, voice-overs, and stage for the past twenty two years.

Eric began his career as a stage actor in New York City in 1976. Acting, teaching and directing actors and performers was the first step in beginning a long parallel career as a public speaking skills trainer. His sheer passion for artistic expression and his relentless pursuit of freeing performers of all walks of life led to the creation of Speakers & Artists International, Inc. The success and undeniable results it produced for people greatly encouraged Eric to continue his journey as a talent developer.

"I am very much a target oriented coach working on key issues related to public performance and communication. Issues of personal power & effectiveness, clear communication & authentic self-expression have become the cornerstone distinctions which over time have served individuals. I follow and empower the purpose of the speaker at all levels. Public speaking and communication rely on very simple yet wonderfully telling "dynamics". This is the true competitive edge of this style of coaching which targets spontaneous and authentic engaging techniques rather than outdated body language, rigid gestures, postures, and attitudes. ~Eric Stone

With this method you learn by personal discovery and experiential wisdom using a large palette of processes, techniques, and distinctions to promote self-awareness. “You cannot practice what you cannot distinguish” is the core principle of this approach. If we see clearly what is at play, we can perform better.
