Are you an aspiring Professional Public Speaker? Patsy Cisneros coaches individuals to develop their Subject Matter Expertise topic, create the visual deck slides to guide your audience, create a corresponding handout, and practice your delivery to engage your audiences. How to price your speaking-for-pay. How to create the expected marketing blurb to provide to the event planner. Learn how to search for events to be a breakout session speaker and build toward keynote speaking. This format of speaking is very different than Toastmasters valuable skill building membership. I often recommend starting at Toastmasters for practice speaking in front of groups, learning the etiquette of introducing the speaker, entering and exiting the stage, etc. When you feel ready to learn the "business of speaking" reach out to start your private coaching journey.
Do you need to improve your presentations in meetings at work? Patsy has extensive experience coaching business people to be clear and concise, how to handle challenging Question and Answer sessions with stakeholders, and improving your credibility and confidence.
