WHAT YOU’LL LEARN?

Three Secrets to Speaking Success…And You
This workshop is founded on the three principles common among superstar speakers and competent communicators. Most people violate one, two, or all of these principles. These three secrets to successful and confident speaking serve as the foundation of the rest of the workshops.

You’ve Got to be Confident…Hiding Yourself Is Not an Option

You are confident when you trust your own abilities, have a general sense of control of your life, and believe that, within reason, you shall. This workshop will show you the logical steps to build your self-confidence and to increase your self-esteem.

You Can Converse With Ease…And Avoid Miscommunication
It is possible that most of your public speaking assignments are within your organization or company. It may not be too difficult especially when your organization is already within your comfort zone. It is also equally possible that you will be invited outside your comfort zone.

You Can Think on Your Feet…and Walk Away Smiling

You will learn from the exercises and feedback that Jef Menguin will provide. You can speak with clarity, coherence, and conviction.

You Tell and Show Me… – Understanding Audience Differences

Each audience is unique. You must know your own speaking style, the styles of different types of audience members, and how to adjust to each for better communication.

Wow and Wee – And the Voice of Confidence
You will explore several techniques for adding vocal and visual variety to your speaking. Goodbye monotone. Hello confident speaker.

You Can Do It – Preparation and Practice

You will present various kinds of information from the beginning until the end. If you intend to attend just to watch Jef speak, you will surely be delighted. But don’t blame him if you will not learn. Learning is change in behavior, eliminating maladaptive techniques, and developing new skills. The workshop is based on learning by doing, and having fun while learning. Come and watch yourself learning the skills you wanted to gain.

You Can Inspire Them – Bring Them to Your Good Sense
Ultimately, the goal of communication is share with people your concern, your love, and your self. Beyond this workshop, you will be encouraged to make good use of the speaking skills you will learn here. Yes, you can change the world. Joining this workshop is just part of it.

Sir Jef,
Your lectures had changed our department’s conferences. We have used your tips here and there with good feedback. In a few days, one of our residents, Dr. Almonte, will be presenting his paper during our society’s convention, and I see in him the confidence of a well trained speaker. I did hope to continue the lectures to a more advanced level, and invited some of my colleagues from other departments to join… unfortunately time is of an essence in our work. I hope you continue giving your lectures on public speaking. i’m sure many would benefit from them as we did. Thank you and more power to you!
