PUBLIC SPEAKING

Does the idea of facing an audience fill you with fear? Do you freeze up? Are you convinced that no one’s listening? It happens to the best of them. If it can happen at the Oscars when a movie star suddenly doesn’t seem all that charming and funny, or at a debate where a politician becomes a deer in headlights, you should know two things: 1. you’re not alone and 2. you can do better. Ernest has applied his Midas touch to a range of speakers, from CEOs addressing auditoriums full of shareholders to teachers wanting to bring out the best in their students and even a minister convinced he was “putting God to sleep.” It’s not quite as simple as “being yourself,” but spend a workshop watching Ernest be himself and you’ll begin to understand that there are aspects of your own personality, intelligence and humor just waiting to be tapped. Ernest has a bucket of tricks and exercises to help you bring out your charisma, even when a room of frowners is staring you down. As is true with all of Ernest’s workshops, he makes the process of becoming an effective and winning Public Speaker fun. For groups of ten or more, no size limit.
