Public Speaking and Communication Skills for Education Leaders
The art of communication is the language of leadership
ABOUT THE COACH
Brian Sterling-Vete – British author, BBC TV News veteran and motivational coach, will show you simple and highly effective ways to improve and polish your public speaking, communication, and media presentation skills.
With his charming British accent, extensive vocabulary and use of the English language, cheeky humor and quick wit, Brian draws from his extensive professional experience to bring his own unique and fresh approach to coaching as he helps you to deliver your message confidently and with maximum impact.
There are quotations from many respected leaders about how to be a powerful speaker. My personal favorite is by Sir Winston Churchill:
“A good speech should be like a woman’s skirt:
long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.”
WORDS ARE POWER
That quote by Sir Winston Churchill actually says it all. Good communications skills are vital to your leadership success and you need to learn how to convey your message thoroughly, yet succinctly.
Among the most common mistakes made in communications is to talk too much, stray off target, and in doing so lose your audience. Let’s not forget that people who talk a lot, generally ‘say’ very little.
Very simply: Words Are Power.
Therefore, good optimum communication skills are vital at every level of human interaction and in all aspects of life, love and business. Good communication makes the business world function or fail, and it’s also the substance of which our most intimate personal relationships are built from.
Brian Sterling-Vete will help prepare you to become a better communicator and more effective leader using his ground-breaking book, Mental Martial Arts, as your course guide and reference notes.
