11:00-11:45 Is Fear of Speaking Impacting Your Ability To Lead?
Do you ask other people to do important talks when, in fact, you are the content expert and should be the one to present your material? Do upcoming presentations to your board, bosses, customers, or employees make you anxious, nervous, and unable to concentrate for days in advance? Do you feel like your authentic self disappears and a stranger shows up when you make an important presentation?
IMAGINE INSTEAD…
Delivering presentations, both inside and outside your organization, that accomplish your goals and inspire your audience. And, imagine being yourself and feeling relaxed all the while – even enjoying speaking!
In this talk, Carla Kimball, M.A., M.B.A., Public Speaking Coach, will share with you 7 simple strategies for speaking with confidence, presence and authenticity.
With an MBA, a Masters in Counseling/Psychology, and her deep commitment to a variety of contemplative practices including her training as a Kripalu yoga teacher, Carla brings an unusual combination of business, analytic skills and very strong interpersonal skills to all her work.
