speaking has become an integral part of our daily lives. It is a vital part of our social interaction. Speech is usually between two people or small groups. In some cases, one person may have to confront a large number of people to communicate a particular or important message to everyone in the fastest and most digestible manner.

Everyone has to deal with the act of speaking. It doesn't matter how large the crowd is, one person or 1,000, it can be difficult to find the right words and convey your message to others while remaining clear.

Paramount Training and Development offers a training session to help you become a better speaker.

Since our childhoods, speech is something we have all been taught to use. It is a part of our daily lives that plays a simple, but important role. It is used by everyone, from casual conversation between friends and associates to being an essential tool in our profession as customer service agents. Many people don't realize how many factors go into communicating with one another. If one factor is not in line with the other, the whole system could collapse or fail to perform its intended function. Speech is a complex skill that can take a lifetime to master. Every speaking engagement, whether in close company or before hundreds of people, must be handled and approached differently from the next. Paramount Training and Development developed the Speaker Training course in order to assist potential learners in understanding this difficult part of speech and help them become better speakers who can handle any situation that may be presented.

Speaker Training Outline

Create confidence in learners

Half the battle in speech is overcoming one’s fear. Fear can silence any potential speaker before even a single word is spoken. It can be generated by anything from the speakers’ lack of confidence in themselves or the merit of their words, to fear the potential speaker may draw from the person or persons they are addressing in that moment. This course is designed to help instill confidence in learners by allowing them to build their own self-esteem by teaching them to handle themselves in front of others by drawing from their own merits and their work, as well as overcome the challenge of facing one or a thousand people using techniques and methods which have proven effective for other speakers in the past.

Help learners create a connection to their audience

It cannot be understated how much a human name and face can help a speaker convey their message more clearly to others, as well as how creating rapport between audience and speaker can make them more receptive to one’s speech. This therefore make one’s words more effective and the intended impact of the activity clearer and more resonant. This course aims to aid learners in personalizing their speech using personal attributes of themselves to create a more personal, humanized way of speaking that will be more effective, means of communicating their thoughts and emotions to others.

Make effective use of the learner’s voice

One of the more obvious, albeit overlooked factors in speech is the speaker’s voice. A speaker’s voice can be used to add inflection, energy, color, and otherwise enhance the meaning behind their words during a speaking activity. Correct or incorrect inflection of words can dramatically change the meaning of one’s words; sometimes even changing what the words are for the listeners’ ears altogether. Adding volume and power in one’s voice for certain words in a sentence can add or subtract a significant amount of power behind a statement. Color of one’s speech can elicit emotions from the audience and add potency to a speaker’s words. All these and more make the learner’s voice a significant tool to their arsenal, and one such tool that this course will train learners in proper and effective usage in.

Promote efficiency, retention, and cohesiveness in speech

One of the largest challenges in speech, among many, is the speaker’s ability to stay focused and on a single topic for as long as it takes to convey the point that the speaker intends to make on the subject. When faced with a crowd of one or many, it is easy for one’s mind to drift in and out of conversation, be it from thoughts generated by the presence of an audience, to background events that can distract a speaker while they attempt to perform that activity. This also leads the many stammered “ahs” and “ums” found in regular speech which most people use to fill the dead air with something to maintain the audiences’ attention.

This course will offer techniques and methods to allow speakers to stay on topic, make their points in the most efficient ways possible, allow speakers to maintain their composure and attention in settings or environments that would easily draw attention away from or distract them from their speaking activity, or at the very least allow them to substitute stammering phrases with ones that allow them to return to the topic at hand more efficiently.
