Be here and be heard: a public workshop on public speaking September 15, 2007

You're up at the podium, white knuckled, pulse racing, poised (but not-so-poised) to deliver that speech/presentation/ toast. But the sight of all those eyeballs bearing down on you suddenly makes your mind go as blank as a white sheet of paper. You trip over your tongue, squeak like Minnie Mouse, hold your notes with trembling fingers, while your heart pounds like a tribal drum, so loud you can't think straight. Yikes! Fight or Flight has struck again!

If you'd rather leap into a tub of rats than speak in public, then run, don't walk to BE HERE AND BE HEARD! A Public Workshop on Public Speaking.

Presentation expert, Eleni Kelakos, will help you get a handle on your public speaking jitters; and she'll teach you some practical, easy-to-use tools tools and techniques- culled from her years as a professional performer, motivational speaker and executive speech coach- that will help bring focus, clarity, shape and authentic passion to your presentations.

This workshop is for beginners and experienced speakers alike. There is always something to learn about being truly present in public!
