Napa, California | October 7, 2019: Lynda Paulson has extended Early Bird registration, a $100 savings, through October 15th, for her two-day immersion training course, the “Executive Speaking Experience,” scheduled for November 6th and 7th in Napa. The Success Strategies, Inc., public speaking and presentation skills course, taught by Ms. Paulson, provides hands-on, practical, video-recorded exercises for the six participants. Paulson says, “This course has transformed past participants’ careers. Some go on to lucrative, six-figure speaking careers, including politicians and CEOs. Others have transformed their careers by gaining confidence and enjoyment speaking to large and small groups, from winemaker dinners to tradeshow conferences.”
ABOUT THE COURSE
The two-day class includes individual, hands-on training sessions with personal coaching; 10 video recordings; written evaluations; practical feedback from peers; a manual with tips and techniques of presentation and communication skills; and a hardcover book, “The Executive Persuader,” by Lynda Paulson.
Students learn how to manage their jitters, think on their feet, and develop poise and presence in front of an audience. Advanced skills such as handling confrontational issues are also taught along with learning to respond to audience Q&A with authority. Some past students have called it, “Life changing!”
“I’ve always been a bit intimidated about public speaking (my father was a highly respected speaker, you know what that can do to an offspring’s confidence.). So when I mustered up the courage to go to Lynda Paulson’s Executive Speaker’s Experience I wasn’t sure what I was in for. I can tell you it was an exceptional professional adventure!
“She works with a small group of only 6 people and does video!! The video quickly became a valued tool. Just like with skiing, it is incredibly helpful to see your mannerisms and bearing. I watched others grow and I literally was able to watch my own progress. We all walked away with more authentic style and confidence. …I highly recommend her workshop. We’re an industry of direct communication. Everyone can use some more confidence and polish…I recommend taking advantage of this unique training opportunity,” stated Colby Smith, Executive Director & Founder of CANVAS, Concierge Alliance of Napa Valley and Sonoma.
