SESSION 1- How to Be a Catalyst for Change
SUMMARY
Let’s face it, today’s remarkable technology lets us communicate far more quickly and frequently than ever before with clients, colleagues and friends. It also creates more competition for attention with people working at home and across multiple cultures,
time zones, and boundaries.
That’s why it’s critical to engage your listeners with a clear, easy to follow structure
and content that makes accepting your idea, recommendation or point of view utterly irresistible.
TOPICS
Learn the value of presenting a clear, concise key takeaway up front.
Use a straightforward, but surprisingly effective, process for leading your audience by easy stages to wholeheartedly accept your recommendation.
Determine which organization pattern will build momentum toward your conclusion by selecting ideas most likely to persuade.
Master the art of creating a persuasive call-to-action.
Practice these skills and get feedback to help you pitch your strategy, sell your recommendation or gain the support of your key stakeholders back on the job.
SESSION 2- Three Steps to Greater Success
SUMMARY
The most powerful presentations not only offer a convincing message, they also compel listeners to think, feel, see or react differently. Yet most of us confuse advocating for our own position with inspiring our audiences to sit up, take notice and act.
Whether in a one-on-one conversation, team meeting or giving an online presentation, this program will show you how to influence any audience for any purpose.
TOPICS
In this highly interactive and fun session, you will learn to:
Discover the underlying appeals of a truly persuasive communication.
Master an easy to use, but hugely effective, method to draw your listeners in.
Use a three-step framework to make your point of view razor sharp.
Practice these skills and get feedback to help you pitch your strategy, sell your recommendation or gain the support of your key stakeholders back on the job.

Mayla was a fantastic public speaking coach for my whole team. From the most junior to the most senior member, she helped us tell compelling, engaging stories about our work and the work of our grantees.
