Fear
Fear of speaking in public causes most never to learn this important life skill. This can work to your advantage. Learn the structures and techniques and you will benefit in your career and in your personal life. Most importantly, your personal confidence will grow dramatically.
Business
It is surprising how poor most people are at giving presentations, training sessions, or representing their company to the world.
At Clarkston Speakers Club we have the training tools but more importantly a very supportive environment that makes learning fun for even the most shy and introverted.
We cannot promise to make you a spellbinding motivational speaker, or a after-dinner speaker that dazzles with your wit.
What we can promise is you will progress from your current level of skill (or lack of) to a much more proficient ability. Further we will help remove the paralysing fear many have . In both of these, we are very successful at helping people.
Social
At some time in your life you will be called upon to speak at a club (golf, etc.) or at significant family events. Learning from our materials will take the pressure off and allow your personality to shine through, making these events far more enjoyable for your listeners and for you.
Confidence
Most of our members agree that this is the greatest benefit.
Unlike professional training that will give you an intense one or two day course, you will learn over a much more sensible timeframe. Within a long day or so you can understand the issues at an intellectual level. To get good at speaking up and out, you need to make these skills your own. You have to internalise them so that they happen as if on autopilot.
Could you learn to drive in a day? Yet given enough time you often drive competently on autopilot.
We have 16 meetings per season (Sep - Apr) and you will get a chance to practice some specific skill each night. As a result after you have been with us for 6 months you will be able to look back and be amazed at the progress made.
