FOR WOMEN
Women hold amazing power with their vision, ambition and accomplishments. Some women unintentionally hurt their dynamic image by bringing in distracting behaviors into their speech and voice. By identifying unhelpful habits and replacing them with strategic skills, women can become more persuasive, credible and obtain a stronger leadership image.
These behaviors can absolutely be changed and women you can learn to speak with better dynamics and a stronger and more powerful voice with this e-learning public speaking class that has been specifically designed for women.
What Will Be Learned: Course Details
The three most important skills for sounding more professional and speaking with a stronger and more powerful voice will be taught through:
Chapter One and Two-
The Rhythm and Melody for Amazing Communication Skills
Chapter One- teaches how to speak in a style that is engaging and interesting. People who learn to speak with skilled intonation are perceived as smart and better leaders. Participants will learn a specific strategy for learning how to speak with a more controlled rate of speed, making articulation sharp and crisp and having naturally improved projection. This speaking style is more commanding and enhances leadership qualities.
Chapter Two- will teach how to use the skill at a more advanced level that will be ideal for delivering presentations, leading meetings, speaking with more persuasion, and connecting with individuals. Other facets of leadership through communication are also taught such as how to pose questions that get you the results you want, common vocabulary words that weakens statements and common bad speech habits will be revealed with strategies on how to eliminate them.
Chapter Three- Speaking from a Stronger and More Powerful Voice
The second skill is learning how to speak with a stronger and more powerful voice. There is a place in the lower throat where the vocal folds function at their best to produce a voice that is rich and vibrant. This e-learning course teaches that placement while eliminating a thin, high or nasal sounding voice.
Chapter Four- How to Speak with a Diaphragm Breath
The final mechanical skill is diaphragm breathing. Many people speak on a shallow breath or even run out of breath when talking. Speaking from a diaphragm breath will allow for more comfort and better projection. In addition, a full diaphragm breath along with good speech melody creates effective and calm speakers.
How It Will Be Learned: Course Design
This course is designed for an approximate 8-week period to allow new skills to develop into every day habit. Lessons are short, 30 minutes or less and the flexibility of e-learning allows users to take the class anywhere, on any device and own timeline.
Each lesson has:
Gamification/Self-Assessments
We engage in gamification/self-assessments where participants receive a goal tracking sheet at the course beginning and specialized self-assessment sheets in the areas of speech melody, voice and breathing. Be on the lookout for information about our discussion groups.
Course Timeline
I recommend taking three weeks for speech melody, two weeks for voice and three weeks for breathing and to tie the skills together. With this e-learning seminar you can take the lessons at your own pace, anywhere and on your timeline.
