Have you written a book(s) and have always wanted to develop the content into a masterclass/workshop or a full training programme but don’t know where to start?

Or perhaps you want to create a masterclass or a full training programme from your keynote and would welcome help and guidance developing the content and materials?

Mary Tillson, our Content Expert and Head of Speaker Coaching, can create a range of product offerings from the content within your book which will enable you to offer your clients a variety of products as well as “just a speech” which also serve to generate more income for you.

As a highly experienced learning and development Principal Consultant and training programme designer, she has sold in, designed, developed, and facilitated innumerable highly successful workshops and training programmes for a whole host of global blue- chip companies covering a wide range of topics and approaches. She knows what works and doesn’t work in either a live or virtual workshop session.

She can help design for you either a full “standalone” workshop, a fully blended programme,  or she can develop a toolbox of activities and exercises for you to “pic n mix” from as required. She will also coach you in how to facilitate these sessions and support you throughout the process.  If you want help with designing course materials to complement the actual delivery, she will do that for you, or provide expert advice on the best approach. Her personal mantra: Setting up for Success ensures she will look after you every step of the way.

• Have you ever sat at your desk for endless hours trying to craft your speech and the inspiration just won’t come?
• Have you ever had to turn down work because you simply didn’t have enough time to design a great speech for the client?
• Do you find that sometimes you lack full confidence in what you have designed?

If any of the above resonate with you then then this highly practical session is the one for you.

Research has shown that the most successful speakers consistently tick three major boxes. They are relevant, memorable and make it easy for their audience to listen to, follow, understand, and remember.

Critical Questions is the brilliant scoping tool that ensures any speech you deliver is relevant. It enables you to gather comprehensive information about your client and audience that will enable you to develop a powerful speech that is relevant for your upcoming audience. It really nails being relevant.  Once you have gathered all this invaluable information you are then ready to create your speech using the fabulous WOMBAT planning and structuring process.

WOMBAT is the practical framework that enables you to tick each of these boxes effortlessly and enables you to deliver your expertise superbly, every time. No more sleepless nights worrying about what content to include or exclude. A simple process that you can use time and time again. Importantly, a process that enables you to design and then deliver that all important referable speech – the one that gets you more bookings.

In this practical session, you will learn how to use both of these highly practical tools and become self- sufficient in them and begin to consider how you can apply them to your clients and content.  

Included in this session:

• Critical Questions methodology and approach
• Ideas on how to embed learning that can be used within scoping
• The WOMBAT methodology revealed and explored
• Practical examples to fully demonstrate both tools in action
• Personal action planning

Takeaways:

• WOMBAT Methodology
• Presentation templates
• A process you can use every time you have to write a speech
• Feedback and Ideas on how to strengthen your talk
• The confidence that each speech you write will be relevant, memorable and easy for your audience to listen to and understand

This is a session for new speakers who have had little experience in delivering speeches.  Not only as a speaker do you have to have a great topic that is relevant to the market, but you also need to be able to deliver this message brilliantly. In this session I share some core basic tools and techniques that all speakers need to have under their belt. Specifically what we explore together will be determined by your personal objectives and level of experience. Typically we look at the difference between great and not so great speeches, how to manage nerves, all things making an impact, the four keys that successful speakers have in common. We look at ways to connect with your audience and how to get through to them and the importance of landing your messages.  I will share with you the “cycle of events” which is linked to your objective for any talk/session you run.  We will also consider some best practise tips in the effective use of PowerPoint.

In this session I will ask you to deliver your speech to me as if to a live audience. I will give you feedback around your strengths and any opportunities I see for improvement and give additional coaching, as necessary.  I will provide healthy challenge as I will be listening to your speech as if I was actually your real audience.

If delivering to me in person is not viable for any reason, I can watch a pre-recorded video of you delivering your speech and will prepare a comprehensive feedback report for you. Once this is prepared we then have a 121 where I take your through my report.
