Public Speaking & Professional Speech Skills Program
As a professional, your occupation may make it necessary for you to lead and manage meetings and speak in front of groups. Confidence and competence is essential to success, but presenting, lecturing, training, or delivering a speech may cause anxiety and stress. These emotions can have a tremendous impact on speaking, making one feel overwhelmed, foggy, dysfluent, and easily flustered.
Voice production may suffer as well. You may feel rushed, tight, or breathless. The natural tone and volume of your voice may vary, leaving you feeling embarrassed or unable to control your voice and speech.
Public Speaking Skills Training
Public speaking involves intricately balanced components of thoughts, language, emotions, voice, and speech production systems working in a timely and coordinated manner.
With detailed knowledge of the structure and function of these connected systems, your speech-language pathologist (SLP) will work with you to develop goals related to speaking within or to a small or large group, using an online platform or the phone, or one-on-one (i.e., vocal projection, breath support, pitch, tone, vocal quality, speech rate, clarity, and communicative confidence).
In this program, our team of uniquely and expertly trained licensed SLPs will provide you with customized, innovative solutions to give you the confidence and competence you need to speak in a variety of settings.
Through focused instruction and practice, you will develop your own public speaking voice- one that gives you the confidence to address your colleagues and peers in any business or social setting. You will be able to speak publicly with less anxiety or hesitation, in turn becoming a better communicator and confident leader when in meetings, communicating with clients, and leading presentations and training.
