The Confident Speaker’s ABC

Capture your audience’s attention with authentic confidence and simple strategies

In this age of information overload, audiences are increasingly difficult to captivate and their attention is an expensive commodity. This adds tension to the already nerve racking situation of speaking in front of other people.

Through mastering simple techniques, you can look and sound confident even when you are nervous, speaking in a second language or speaking in front of your peers. Once you have secured your audience’s attention, some easy strategies can help you to keep it.

This session will give you:

• A quick 6 point check list from A to F to look, feel and sound confident in any situation.
• Vocal techniques for controlling your body and your voice
• An approach and attitude that is inviting and instills trust.
• A boost in self confidence and self esteem that will impact your income.
• Four simple strategies from G to J to keep your audience engaged.

I enjoyed the method of teaching. Found myself very relaxed and in a space that made me comfortable. Petro is very warm and her tone of voice encourages. – Melaine Sukhraj, PA

Petro’s course has a way of demonstrating the goal immediately, and although good speaking only comes with practise, the first important switch, realising how we could and should be speaking, can successfully happen in the first morning.- Gertrud Tönsing, Lecturer, Lutheran Theological Institute, Pietermaritzburg

What I learned from the workshop is voice control and confidence when you get on stage – how to have more strength and energy and give a positive message. - Reza Rust ‘Zati G’, Rapper for RIP
