‘I’ve watched Mike make many business presentations on a variety of topics to diverse audience groups. There are two things that have always impressed me: First, he has the ability of creating a sense of trust and confidence in his audience that is remarkable. People who are in his audience become engaged and open up to listen to what he has to say almost immediately. Second, he stays on task….he informs the audience what his purpose is, he checks in with them along the way, and finishes his presentations by validating that he delivered what was promised. He’s an outstanding speaker who consistently scores very high on evaluations from his audience. Mike has a style that is to be emulated. ‘
‘Mike has an absolute gift for taking complex and potentially controversial information and presenting it in a way that is logical, sensible, and easily understood. His calm demeanor and impeccable level of professionalism establishes his mastery to the audience from the minute he starts speaking. His respect for and authenticity with his audience sets the stage for a powerful learning experience for anyone fortunate enough to be in his audience. I would urge anyone interested in mastering the art of public speaking to watch Mike….listen to Mike……and learn from Mike.”

To be asked or assigned the task of presenting in front of an audience is a significant privilege. And, it is an opportunity that can help to propel a career, advance a movement, or ignite a new way of thinking . There are some who believe that the ‘fear of speaking in public’ ranks up there as one of the most stress-inducing activities in life. At S2K, we’ve built a training program that strives to reduce the level of stress and elevate the recognition of how empowering presentations can be for the presenter. Our training graduates are given concrete tools, practical exercises, and validation methods that allow the presenter to stay focused on the core message to be delivered and the ability to truly connect with his or her audience for a lasting, memorable, and valuable experience.
S2K has developed the ‘On Purpose’ method of training professionals the art of public speaking. The program is designed to provide a fundamental framework for approaching every speaking opportunity with a logical and focused purpose. Beginning with learning how to establish a ‘purpose statement’ for every speaking opportunity’, students are guided to building content, format, and flow that directly supports the established purpose. So, there’s never any doubt at the conclusion of the speech whether or not the goals were achieved.
In addition, students are introduced to the fundamentals of public speaking with a fresh perspective that helps bring out everyone’s unique style and personality to each speaking engagement. Practical tips and role-playing topics include:
Ø Body language
Ø Voice Management
Ø Power Gestures (hands, arms)
Ø The Awesome Power of Silence
Ø The gift of reframing & asking permission
All training programs can be designed to accommodate live or virtual participation and be adjusted to support organizational models.
