  • Jonathan Yabut Winner of 'The Apprentice Asia'
    How to Develop Your Confidence and Public Speaking Skills jonathan Yabut Winner of 'the apprentice asia' Public speaking is reported to be the number one fear of people around the world according to mental health organizations. It is no wonder that great public speakers remain to be rare and valued in today’s society, especially in the corporate world. When you lack public speaking skills, you’re likely unable to assert yourself during meetings, express your opinions to your boss, or make connection with work colleagues. This learning session seeks to boost your public speaking skills by understanding why we are afraid of it, and what can we do about it. We will study the anatomy of an eective speech and discover ways on how to engage an audience. We will learn the power of “story telling”, and demonstrate that successful people are those who can tell “stories” to their customers, employees, and stakeholders. Participants will be immersed in various exercises that will improve their styles of expression: JAM sessions, mock interviews, and parliamentary debate. If you are keen to succeed during the most career-changing moments of your life—those boardroom meetings, those pitch presentations, or even rare 3-minute elevator moments with your CEO—this learning session is made just for you! • [email protected] • +603 2301 0988 • LondonSpeakerBureauAsia.com • The world’s leading speaker and advisory network LEARNING SESSION OBJECTIVES The specic objectives of this unique fun-lled learning experience are; • To appreciate and believe that public speaking is an art and skill that can be learned and mastered over time; • To apply public speaking techniques in real-life corporate settings: organizing information, setting directions to a team, presiding meetings, presenting pitches, making “small talks” during awkward situations; and • To gain a renewed sense of inspiration and confidence in expressing oneself—whether in corporate or personal life.

The Internet has profoundly changed our thinking in less than two decades. No other medium has manipulated human behavior to such an extent. The Internet can be a blessing - but also a curse.
