Do you ever wish you felt more comfortable in business or social settings? Have you ever lost a business deal without quite knowing why? You may consider yourself a professional, but do others?

Presentation Keynote: Speak Up, Speak Well
Embrace the opportunity to speak; embrace the opportunity to change attitudes, build commitment or just deliver the goods! People want the connection of words, they want to be motivated and they want you to do it! Paula will give you the tools to get there. Presentation got a bad rap when it was listed as Americans’ number one fear. Paula’s two step method to delivering outstanding presentations and speeches eliminates this negative stigma and helps you to set course for impactful presentation.
Keynote, presentation and training topics include:
Business Protocol:
Introductions, hosting the business lunch, how to eat certain foods, knowing what fork to use when, engaging in conversation, remembering names, working the social event, entering and leaving a group, managing or refusing cocktails, finessing the formal dinner, giving a good handshake, showing deference in seating, cars, elevators and doors; and finally, holding your plate, glass and napkin all in your left hand leaving your right hand free to greet others.
Leadership and communication:
Listening, feedback, non-verbal messages, summarizing and paraphrasing, establishing rapport, building trust, maintaining objectivity, giving credit, personality styles, managing difficult people, problem solving, conflict management and confrontation, leading change, facilitation, motivation staff, framing messages, un-mixing messages, and building commitment.
Presentation:
First impressions, delivery tips, managing the jitters, connecting with the audience, engaging the audience, using humor, motivating the audience, using technical language, visual aids, team presentation, Q&A, and informative, persuasive, sales and report presentations.
