But this is the information age. People have plenty of information. What they actually want is change.And people are persuaded by an idea when they believe change is possible.When a speaker comes to me to help them make over their signature talk, our main task isn't to write out their life story and produce a few tips. The task isn't to provide a bunch of stuff.It's to build to a single, empowering idea as a climactic moment so that each audience member has a sudden epiphany around how to create change.And because my client is the source of that epiphany, they get flooded with opportunities at the end.In Speak Up communication and executive presence coaching, high performing leaders learn to enhance their influence and confidence, refining their communication style to increase visibility and effectiveness in promotion opportunities.
