P.S.  This unique public speaking forum is built on member feedback from our other popular business skills forum at: http://www.meetup.com/Entrepreneurship-Creative-Business-MBA/

 

Welcome to this member-run NYC Business Speaking Forum!   We are a new forum created from successful techniques of hundreds of successful people, focused specifically for entrepreneurs & managerial professionals that are looking for a practical platform for enhancing their “ business & leadership presence” and “ public speaking” abilities.

This is not a typical “toastmaster club”. We do focus the basics of public speaking but then go well beyond that to address the unique “business & leadership” challenges facing individuals in this new global economy.

Let us see if this forum is for you!   

* Are you tired of typical “icebreaker” or “feel good” type toastmaster meetings?

* Do you feel being haunted by this “stage fear”, “camera phobia”, etc.?

* Are you prepared to address the presentation challenges in this emerging global economy?

* Do you understand and incorporate global cultural aspects into your presentations?

* Can you present with same impact irrespective of the duration (30 seconds to 60 minutes)?

* Does your confidence change when a video camera and large audience is facing you?

* Do you have a professional command over presentation tools such as PowerPoint, Excel?

* Do you know how to create presentations designed for diverse audience i.e. to people from business, marketing, finance, operations, risk, technology, etc.?

* Can you crank out a complex presentation on a business topic in 15min using PowerPoint?

* Do you feel you lose “memory” during presentation and resort to reading the slides?

* Do you know how to redeem yourself if the presentation started in the wrong direction?

* Are you in Operations and struggling to incorporate marketing into your presentations (or vice versa)?

* Are you a Marketing professional struggling to incorporate finance into your presentations (or vice versa)?

* Do you struggle to handle difficult Q&A sessions during or after the presentation?

* Do you find it difficult to think about the “big picture” on the feet?

Consider joining this forum if you found relevance with 80% of these challenges. This practical innovative business speaking forum can provide you a great opportunity to take your career or venture to the next level.

Most of our meetings will be designed around the following key practical skills:

1. Improving efficiency & effectiveness in “preparing” for business cases & presentations.

2. Mastering business presentation tools & techniques (PowerPoint, Excel, etc.).

3. Delivering business presentations by integrating various methods (oral, written/visual, acting).

4. Demonstrating competency of “business lingo” to appeal to diverse business audience.

5. Most importantly, practicing to present and think “on the feet” to influence for a cause!

Our most important aspiration is to raise confidence by practicing presentations, the right way, to deliver the impact and achieve personal and professional goals!

 

Thank you.

Julie
