This program is part of Dale Carnegie Training's new Seminar Plus Coaching Series. Each program in the series combines a powerful one-day seminar with individualized coaching after the seminar to give you both skills acquisition and skills development through practice. Here's how it works.

First, attend How to Be a Confident Public Speaker at one of the convenient locations listed in this brochure. At this intensive, one-day seminar you'll learn how to build a powerful presentation - everything from understanding your audience to determining your major points, from using a logical progression of ideas to making your material lively, and from holding attention to closing with impact.

Next, just before your next presentation, schedule a rehearsal with your Carnegie Coach. Your coach will work with you on delivery. He or she will help you overcome public speaking anxiety and turn nervousness into positive energy, eliminate annoying habits and present an image of confidence, enthusiasm and professionalism.

Presentations are critical tools for success in business. Whether you're persuading a colleague, selling a client, leading a team or presenting an idea to senior management, what you say and how you say it make the difference between success and failure.
