"The best leaders...almost without exception and at every level, are master users of stories and symbols."

- Tom Peters

Annette Estes has the background and experience to be considered an expert presentation coach and trainer. She majored in speech and drama in college, taught speech in high school, anchored the 6:00 and 11:00 news in a major television market for 15 years, and has been giving presentations all of her adult life.  She's done professional speaking and presentation coaching since college and has been a professional speech coach for the past 16 years.

CLASS ON EFFECTIVE PRESENTATIONS

Annette's presentation skill training workshop is for those who understand the importance of public speaking to their business and personal success. Successful people understand that one of the most effective ways to advance their career is to gain more public speaking confidence.

The Five Minute Presentation

When the workshop begins, participants will give five minute power point presentations in the morning.  Then Annette will give her class on effective presentations and you'll give the five minute presentation again in the afternoon.  If you're like most of her clients, you will show marked improvement in just those few hours and maybe win a prize.

Tips on Public Speaking

Here are some of the presentation techniques you'll discover and be able to use when you leave the workshop:

• Presentation preparation
• Organizing the body of a speech
• Improving your verbal communication skills
• Understanding nonverbal communication characteristics
• Developing natural hand gestures
• Understanding the effects of your body language in communication
• The four types of communication
• Creating dynamic power point presentations
• Working through communication anxiety and fear of public speaking

Our class on effective presentations is guaranteed to help you develop more effective presentation skills in a non-threatening business classroom environment.  Annette's critiques are helpful, positive, and kind − more like Paula than Simon. (But if you want Simon, she can do that, too.)

You can have private one on one coaching with Annette by contacting her personally.  Let her be your speech coach and watch your business presentation skill improve dramatically.  Annette does presentation skill training for executives, managers, and employees of a company whose professional improvement plans include giving powerful, personable, professional presentations.

Media COACHing
