Introduction: What to expect from this programme

Welcome!

We gain a lot of knowledge and experience throughout our life but sometimes we don’t know how to use these valuable assets. What you need to realise is that knowledge only becomes a power once it is implemented.

This programme will help you download decades of knowledge in days giving you an incredible advantage in your field.

 The amount of information, knowledge, and experience we gather has increased rapidly, so how can we benefit and share it with others? When you keep absorbing information without utilising or sharing it, that gap creates stress for most people.

If you’re feeling stressed about speaking then I’m here to change that! Not only will this programme improve your speaking skills, but more importantly, your enjoyment. We will learn to fall in love with speaking together.

Lesson 01: How to find your confident place

In this programme, you will learn to boost your confidence and growth, step by step. We will first focus on your foundation and move forward once you're comfortable with speaking.

In this session, we are going to get started by finding your current confidence level. To improve anything, we need to be able to measure the progress.

You will need to take a video of yourself standing and speaking for this lesson. Ideally, you want a phone; plug in the phone to practice speaking.

Lesson 2: What are the speaking obstacles

I want to identify the three most common speaking obstacles so you're aware of them. You won't be able to get rid of them all at once, but the more you're aware of these barriers, the easier it becomes to tackle them over time.

Lesson 3: How to increase your focus while speaking  

Have you been practicing? If you are, then I applaud you for starting this programme with a great habit, speaking 3 minutes each day. If not, then it's never too late to schedule this time in.

 All you need is to set aside 3 minutes each day to develop a new speaking habit. You won't see much change at first, but gradually, then exponentially, you will be in a new place.

 In this session, I will show you things you need to increase your speaking focus.

Lesson 04: Why visualisation works

It's important to be mindful of your mind when speaking.

 Sometimes we don't realise that we need to expect the action before it happens. Our brain needs to be stretched and warmed up to speak better...

 I will give you a few tips on being mindful of your brain so you can maximise your speaking experience.

Lesson 5: How to get unstoppable momentum

Yes, you made it to DAY 5!

Are you noticing that you're speaking better now than when you started this programme? 

In this session, we're going to understand the different feelings you may experience until you get the unstoppable momentum.

Lesson 6: How you stay consistent so you achieve results

Often, people think you can only speak when you know some magical technique. Yes, that helps, of course, that's why we're doing this together right now :) But I'm also here to tell you that there's another simple way to increase your speaking skill. 

 And that's speaking consistently. 

 Without learning any technique, your speed will naturally increase when you speak consistently daily. 

In this session, I will teach you how you can schedule your time to deliver a talk while going through this programme.

lesson 7: How to quieten your inner voice while speaking

Can you believe that we've already spent almost a week together? How would you feel if you could speak better in just one week? 

I want to ask you; do you often hear your internal voice speaking along with you? Well, you're not alone.

It's one of the most common mistakes we make when speaking, and it stops us from expressing what we want. When you observe the greatest speakers in the world, you will see that they're not listening to the inner voice or paying attention to doubt in their minds. 

We pick up this bad habit when we first learned to speak in school, but it's never too late to fix it.

lesson 8: How to use body language while speaking

How are you doing so far using visualisation? Are you getting more comfortable using it? 

In this session, I'm going to show you how you can boost the effectiveness of your talk. And that's accomplished by using your body language. 

 Using your body engages your brain, and it helps you to reduce nervousness. I'm going to ask you to keep practicing with your body from now on. 

 Let me know what you think of it after the practice!

lesson 9: Using your voice and speed speaking

Today we are going to push the limits!

 When you want to grow your muscle, you will go to the gym and train until your muscle stretches, then you take a break to stabilise and grow. And this is what you should do for your mind when you want to grow. 

 Until today, we warmed up with a lot of speaking exercises. 

 I'm going to push you far today, and it will be uncomfortable, but I assure you, it will be worth it.

 We're going to accelerate your speaking speed dramatically today. Grab your phone now, get ready, and follow along.

Lesson 10:  Understand your talk by asking questions  

 How is your speaking today? 

 I want to pause on speed for now and focus on understanding. 

 As you already know, one of the ways to boost speaking is by using visualisation to help you focus. 

 Another way to boost speaking is to ask better questions.

 In this lesson, I will explain why this is important.

Lesson 11: Why you prepare before you speak

We all know there's no point in talking about something if you forget it. 

 So how can we fix that? 

 One of my favourite ways to make your talk more engaging is to prepare in advance. This will also improve your confidence.

Lesson 12: Teach it to get stuck in your mind   

When you apply the method, you will be able to restore the information and cement the knowledge in your mind.

lesson 13:  How to take a break 

 We have been together for almost two weeks now. I want to take a moment to talk about taking brain breaks. 

 Brain breaks are important. Why? If you're studying for 5 hours straight, you're more likely to remember the beginning and the end and forget what’s in the middle. 

 Take brain breaks for about 5 - 10 mins. Taking breaks longer than 10 mins will make it harder for you to get back in the flow, so you want to limit your breaks.

lesson 14: How to close your talk 

 We've come so far together, and today, I'm excited to talk about one of my favourite techniques - sharing a message/opinion to close your talk! 

 I'm going to show you a powerful way to boost the impact of your message.

Lesson 15: Introducing effective eye contact

Now that you have the fundamentals let’s practice a new technique.

See how it feels using this technique, and let me know how many audience members you can look at in each speaking scenario. If you’re not used to this, it’s going to feel weird.

 But remember that this takes practice and you will get used to it after several attempts :)

 Keep practicing speaking for at least 5 minutes today.

Lesson 16: How do you know the audience is listing to you?

You may think that you only need to speak to express your opinion, message, feeling...Of course, speaking is important, but you also need to make sure people are listing to you and that you are not talking to yourself.  

How? In this session, I am going to show you the steps to know if they are listening.

Lesson 17: How to deliver technical information

 For technical speaking, there is a method you can apply to deliver a technical talk for school or work. 

The method is to build your own map, which should take about 10 minutes to draw out.

____________________________________________________________

Lesson 18: How to tell a great story?

Today we are going to discover together how to deliver an engaging story.

We will start by finding out the fundamental principles of storytelling, and then we will move toward how we can utilise them for outstanding performance. 

 You will need to take a video of you standing and speaking your story for this lesson. 

________________________________________________________________

Lesson 19: Identify where you are now and go through this method. 

 How is your practice? 

We're getting close to the end of our programme together. I want to introduce something new you can use to see where you are and apply what you have learned to your daily habit. 

 The hardest part is to continue this practice on your own as you move forward, so the skills you learned during this program become your second nature. 

 To do that, you need to build a belief system to take you from where you are now to where you want to go.

Lesson 20: How to build a speaking habit 

Unfortunately, this is the final lesson in this programme. How is your speaking compared to day 1? 

I want to give you tips to continue on this journey. 

I want to share the keys to creating, adding and eliminating habits with you.

It's been my pleasure to be your speaking coach, and I hope you enjoyed this programme. Please keep me posted on your progress as you continue your speaking journey.
