Clear Speaking Program

Have you ever sat in a meeting and cringed because the speaker is struggling to get his message across? Sometimes, speakers stumble so much that it makes you want to scream or go to sleep. It’s all because the speaker is breaking many rules of effective and clear communication.

Here are a few that drive people crazy, and draw their attention away from the speaker’s main point:

1.  Speaking too quickly
2.  Dropping “ing” from words    
3.  Dragging vowels
      Nine sounds like  “niiiiiine”
4.  Emphasizing the wrong syllable
     Cement sounds like “see-ment”
5.  PowerPoint Overkill
     Too many words, numbers, and slides

This problem isn’t limited to internal presentations.  You might have a star employee who has great analytical skills.  However, you can’t put him in front of a customer or vendor because of his poor speaking style. 

Why It’s Important
As teams become leaner, more people are asked to deliver messages to company leadership and fellow team members.  When communication isn’t done well, it causes rework, frustration, and perception problems. Sometimes, the wrong message ends up being delivered.  On top of that, employees with strengths in other areas can be passed over for promotion, ignored for critical assignments, and in some cases…let go.

Ignite’s In-House Speaking Program
This program allows you to bring a small group of people (usually up to 12) for half or full day training sessions at your location.  There is no need to send everyone offsite over the course of several weeks or months.  We come to you, and work with your team right on the spot.  These sessions are delivered in a casual atmosphere that promotes participation and sharing.

Customized Individual Speaking Program
Designed for individual employees, this program includes nine one-on-one hourly sessions spread out over a three month period.  We identify the areas that need the most improvement, and develop a customized program to help the individual communicate more clearly.  Ignite provides tools, videos and practice tips that can be used whenever more tuning or practice is needed.
