How does this Assertiveness Course Work?
To show confidence and credibility while public speaking, what you actually know matters less than what your audience thinks you know.
Don't believe me, check this out:
I watched a presentation by a history professor who is well known in his field who is extremely knowledgeable and full of confidence. He had given out evaluations afterward, and I asked about the results.
“People reported I knew a lot about history,” he said, sounding puzzled, “but they felt I wasn’t very credible. How could that be?”
From having observed him public speaking, I knew what the problem was. Though he knew his subject very well, his language, his voice, his facial expressions, and his body language didn’t show confidence. This is why the audience found he lacked credibility.
In this program you will discover 3 powerful ways to show more confidence and credibility when public speaking. This is't just theoretical fluff, these are real, practical techniques you can start using immediately.
Our goal is to give people practical and actionable tools that create a real connection with your audience.
Not pie in the sky ideas, one hit wonders or concepts that sound good on paper but are impossible to execute, that come off as disingenuous or that are just plain ineffective.
Over 20 years ago, I began crafting this method for meeting the challenges of public speaking in a way that’s genuine to you.
We show you exactly how to take public speaking skills and use them to seize opportunities, big & small.
So you can have the confidence you need to deliver your message, because our guess is what you have to say is pretty important.
Assertiveness Course: Reviews
“Building credibility with your customer team and operations is critical to your success as an implementer. Jason's Assertiveness training provides valuable information that will immediately boost your credibility by helping you be better prepared, more confident and more in control of your presentation.”
Lacey Miron -- Implementation Executive
“Controlling a room is a crucial part of being a project manager. Anyone can yell or implore tactics that draw attention, but few can use verbal and non-verbal skills to tap into the audiences internal desire for knowledge. Jason's Assertiveness training passes on skills that allow new and seasoned Project Managers to speak more effectively by giving them specific abilities that awaken the audience through intrinsic motivators rather than external forces.”
Correll Lashbrook -- Project Manager
“I have been to several seminars on public speaking and giving presentations, including Dale Carnegie training. I truly went into this thinking that I couldn't possibly learn anything new, but I found myself scribbling notes like a mad woman during the presentation. I quickly realized that these were tips and techniques that I had never heard before, and that I could use immediately upon my return to the office.”
Joey Monson-Lillie --Human Resources Manager
