Leading from the Center
Leading from the Center is for leaders committed to honing their leadership and management skills. It provides participants with the skills and insights needed to lead in their most effective style. The program is customized to address specific issues within an organization.

Specific skills taught and practiced include:

• Learning the difference between management and true leadership
• Gaining insight into an individual leader's patterns and practices
• Defining the qualities and strengths of leaders in a particular organization
• Polishing interpersonal and communication skills
• Developing strategies to move things forward

Authentic Speech Presentation
Our Authentic Speech Presentation training program provides participants with the skills they need to lead and communicate in their unique, most effective voices. Training focuses on helping participants speak with clarity and credibility. We do extensive on-camera work, and we incorporate executive coaching strategies to help participants' envision how they want to be perceived by their audiences.
Authentic Speech Presentation was created especially for mid- to senior-level professionals. We help eliminate fear of public speaking and dramatically improve current speaking skills. The program includes a communication skills assessment tool (before training starts) to identify the participant's best speaking style and an executive coaching session (two weeks after the training) to ensure personalized and sustained success.
Participants will:

• Become more comfortable in any speaking situation, formal or informal, and minimize nervousness

• Learn the three simple, but necessary, parts to every effective presentation
• Discover the 10 best ways to open and close every talk
