public speaking skills development

Public speaking is not simply the art of being able to speak in front of a huge crowd of people without fainting.  Public speaking is a skill which allows one to address any number of other people—from a small group of 5 in a seminar presentation or job interview, to a massive audience of 5,000 in a stadium—in a way that communicates a clear, consistent, engaging and persuasive message (whether silly or serious). 

Almost all members of the sports community—even young athletes, agents, and boardroom management—are called upon to deliver speeches or presentations (both formal and informal), and to speak to a number of people who are focused squarely on the individual.

It is no secret that public speaking is commonly held as a “greatest fear” by many people.  It can be daunting, for sure.  But, good public speaking skills can literally build careers (and save them!).  And poor public speaking skills can prevent an otherwise-capable athlete, coach, agent, or manager from ever achieving true success.

What Prospect calls “public speaking skills development” is a process of teaching a client to become capable of crafting (in advance, or “on the fly”) an intelligent and coherent message, and helping them to become comfortable and confident in delivering this message in a way that others will find engaging and persuasive.
