Public Speaking Boot Camp

Public Speaking. The Book of Lists rates it as the number one fear in America -- ahead of snakes, spiders, flying and even death! Yet, the man or woman who can confidently stand up in front of a group of people and persuade them to take action is the envy of millions! There can be no doubt:

To rise to the top in any field, you must be an outstanding public speaker. It is simply the single most important, most marketable skill in today’s business world!

Regardless of how intelligent you are or how much you’ve already accomplished, the difference between success and failure in your life -- between advancement and stagnation in your career -- depends on your ability to communicate effectively. Without exception, what you say and how you say it determines how people evaluate you in business and in life!

Now you can invest in yourself and in your future by attending this intensive Public Speaking Boot Camp designed for people who want to become dynamic public speakers!

· And anyone else who needs to be able to present their ideas to others in a powerful and persuasive manner!

Who should not attend: If you’re the type of person who’s content with being an “okay” or “average” speaker, this Boot Camp is definitely not for you. If you don’t have an open mind or want to learn the latest presentation techniques and strategies that have been tested with spectacular results, it would be best not to attend!

But if you're a professional who understands the business value (and the personal satisfaction) that comes from knowing how to inform, motivate, entertain and persuade an audience, continue reading to learn more about this intensive training!

Have you ever wished you could walk into a roomful of people, step up to the microphone and, with no hesitation, clearly and confidently express your ideas in a way that makes everyone sit up and take notice? Did you ever wish you had the ability to inspire an audience and move them to action with the power of your words and the impact of your delivery? Have you ever imagined the difference such an ability could make both in your professional career and in your personal life?

Well, it shouldn't surprise you that you're not alone in that dream. There are countless millions just like you who long to become capable and successful public speakers. The difference between all of them and you is that you now have the opportunity to take a giant step towards making your dream a reality!

My name is Morris Taylor. I'm the Owner and President of Talisman Training Associates and I specialize in training professionals in the skills of leadership and communication. After spending several years working "in-house" for large corporations and colleges around the country, five years ago I began offering one open-enrollment workshop each year. That workshop, known as the "Public Speaking Boot Camp," has consistently received high praise from everyone who's participated, and since then several companies have asked me to conduct identical sessions for their employees within their facilities. I now want to offer you the opportunity to attend the next open enrollment session to be held in the Chicago land area.

Here’s just some of the knowledge you’ll gain and practice in this hands-on, information-packed seminar:

· A six-step process for organizing a persuasive presentation that covers every possible objection in advance

· How to develop powerful openings that instantly capture an audience’s attention

· How to effectively use visual aids -- including overheads, flipcharts and PowerPoint presentations -- to add greater impact to your message

· Techniques for conducting a question and answer session that strengthen your initial presentation.

Think about it. What's it worth to you to feel confident every time you get up to speak in front of an audience of your peers, potential customers, or members of upper management (not to mention your family and friends)?

With the knowledge and experience you'll gain in this Public Speaking Boot Camp, you’ll be able to:

You won't find a public speaking training program as complete and comprehensive as this at any other event or seminar. I know because I tried. If this type of training had been available 20 years ago, I would have willingly paid three times the price and saved myself from having to learn all of this in bits and pieces, one small nugget, one book, one seminar, and one coach at a time. Now you can get all of this information at one time, in one place... and your complete satisfaction is guaranteed!

The above people were just like you! Deep down they knew they could become better speakers if they could find the right training -- and they did! Now so can you! Don’t let any more opportunities pass you by simply because you lack confidence or experience as a presenter and speaker! Take the first step today towards becoming an effective, dynamic, and confident public speaker!

Call now – enroll for either one day or both days! (See each day's agenda here.) To register, call toll free, 888-235-8681, or email TTAregistration@talismantraining.com!

“Okay – So What’s The Cost For This Incredible

Training Opportunity?”

As a public speaking instructor and coach, I work primarily

with large corporations and businesses. When I conduct

an in-house ‘boot camp’ style training for one of these

clients, my minimum charge for a small group is $3,250 a

day -- and that's quite a bit less than many of my

competitors charge for similar programs that are far less

comprehensive and content rich. When I’m asked to work

one-on-one in coaching individuals, my rate is $285/hour

with a minimum commitment of three hours, i.e., $855.

I began offering my open enrollment Public Speaking Boot

Camp five years ago because I realized that a lot of the

people who wanted this training and could benefit most

from it didn’t always work for large organizations that fully

understood the value of these skills, and many of these

same individuals simply couldn’t afford my one-on-one

coaching fees. I wanted to be able to offer to these people

the same high-quality training but at a cost they could

afford. Now I wasn’t about to give this information away

for next to nothing, because I know how valuable it can be

in the hands of the right people, but I also wanted to make

it a bargain for anyone who was serious about increasing

their career options and enhancing every facet of both

their professional and personal lives.

So now let me ask you: If I said you could get more than

seven hours of professional instruction for less than half of

what you’d pay for three hours as one of my coaching

students, would that be a good deal? What if I offered you

over 14 hours of instruction covering every aspect of

presentation creation and delivery, including two individual

video tapings and professional critiques, for less than many

people pay for just three hours of my time -- are you the

type of person who would get excited about such an

opportunity? I hope so -- because that's exactly what I'm

offering!

To make this training as accessible as possible to anyone

who understands its value and is serious about becoming

an effective and confident speaker, I'm offering three

different registration packages.

Level 1: Day One only - $417* per person

Level 2: Both days – $817* per person (pay all at

once or spread your payment over two

installments)

Level 3: Both days plus two hours of one-on-one

coaching specifically for you. Use the

coaching time to get help with an upcoming

presentation, have a video of yourself

critiqued, receive pointers on how to sell

your ideas -- whatever will benefit you most.

You design the program to fit your needs -

$1,250* (pay all at once or spread your

payment over three installments)

(* see special early enrollment discount below!)

In so many ways this is a minor investment when you

consider all you have to gain from this training program.

And to make this training as comprehensive and complete

as possible, there's even more...

In addition to the expert classroom sessions, to further enhance your training experience and ensure that you have everything you need to continue your development as a speaker even after the Boot Camp is over, you'll also receive the following bonus materials!

· The CD program, "How to Master Your Fear of Public Speaking!" This forty-five minute recording clearly explains why people get nervous (it's probably not what you think!) and provides real-world tips and techniques for reducing and even eliminating nervousness.

· Special Report #1: “How to Give an Effective Extemporaneous Speech.” A simple yet effective step-by-step process to help you think on your feet – fast!

· Special Report #2: “How to Read Prepared Text Like a Pro (and not sound like you’re reading!)”

· Special Report #3: "20 Tips to Improve Your Next PowerPoint Presentation." The do's and don'ts for using PowerPoint in a way that enhances your message without boring (or irritating) your audience!

· A quick-reference guide for handling the 11 most common types of troublemakers you’re likely to face in an audience (e.g., know-it-all's, whisperers, interrupters, etc.)

· How to Develop a Super Power Memory, e-book on CD. This is one of the finest memory courses available anywhere, by one of the world's foremost authorities on memory. Learn how to remember names, faces, dates, lists, lecture notes -- virtually anything! With this e-book you'll be able to memorize your speech or script in minutes instead of hours -- guaranteed!

· Famous Quotes, e-book on CD. Five hundred quotations to help you add wit and interest to your presentations.

· A full-color, laminated, step-by-step job-aid for creating any presentation. Use it as a preparation template, a self-assessment tool, or to coach others.

· A special Boot Camp CD program and companion note-taking guide on "How to Add Humor to Your Presentations." (Note: If you don't already understand the critical importance of humor in reaching and influencing your audiences or how to use it effectively, you need to hear this program!)

· The third edition of, “The Real Secrets of Successful Public Speaking,” my popular self-study guide for speakers who are ready to learn the techniques and strategies that will take their presentation skills to the most advanced level.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING!

If you've read this far I know you have a sincere desire

to become a first-rate speaker. So to make it as easy as

possible for you to take advantage of this tremendous

training opportunity, I'm offering a limited time only

EARLY ENROLLMENT DISCOUNT

Enroll by October 26 and receive a 20% discount off the

normal tuition price -- for Level 1 you pay only $334! For

Level 2, pay only $654! For Level 3, pay only $995!

Why am I offering such a significant discount on this

program that's already an amazing deal?

To be honest, when people register early it helps me in

finalizing plans and locking in the contract with the facility

where the event is being held, so I can pass the savings

on to you. Unfortunately, every time I've been able to offer

an early enrollment discount for one of my Boot Camps,

there have been people who've waited until the last few

days to register (which costs me) and thus missed out on

the savings. Don't be one of them! After October 26, the

regular tuition prices will apply -- no exceptions.

Enrollment is limited -- reserve your space now! Due to the individualized coaching and hands-on nature of this session, pre-registration is required. There are only 12 seats available on Day One and only five on Day Two. Walk-in registrations will not be accepted for this event. I encourage you to register today, either by phone or email. Registrations will be accepted in the order received.

Confirmation: I will send you a confirmation of your registration by email (you may also request to receive it by land mail).

Workshop schedule: Each day will begin at 8:30 AM and end at 5 PM. However, I suggest that you arrive at least 15 minutes early so you have enough time to check in and meet your fellow students prior to the start of the training.

Tuition: Level One - $417 per participant covers the cost of the first day of the Boot Camp including instruction, all materials, and a course certificate of completion. Light refreshments are furnished during morning and afternoon breaks and lunch is included. Level Two - $817 per participant covers the cost of both days of the Boot Camp including (on Day Two) two videotaping sessions and written critiques from the instructor with individualized strategies for your personal development as a speaker. All materials, a certificate of completion, refreshments and lunch are included. Level Three - $1,250 per participant includes both days of the Boot Camp plus two hours of one-on-one coaching. (See elsewhere on this page for special early enrollment discounts!)

Methods of payment: Tuition can be paid with a personal check or with a credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover). The full enrollment fee (or the initial payment if you are paying on the installment plan) is due prior to the workshop date.

My money back guarantee: Participate in one or both days of the Boot Camp. Use the materials, study the information and techniques, and (if you enroll for both days) receive individualized coaching on your videotaped presentations. If at the end of the Boot Camp you are not happy with the quality of the instruction or the vast amount of knowledge you’ve gained, your entire enrollment fee will be refunded! In the many years I’ve been in the training business I have never been asked for a refund from any seminar or workshop I’ve conducted. I’m convinced this is because of the incredible amount of high value and useable information I pack into every session.

Deadlines and cancellation: Registration deadline is November 5, 2009. If for any reason you must cancel, in order to receive a full refund you must give notification no later than 10 days in advance. Seats that become available due to cancellations will be filled using a waiting list. If you are unable to cancel by the deadline, you may send someone in your place or, if you prefer, you may apply your payment to a future Boot Camp.

This workshop is tax deductible! Your workshop expenses – including instruction fee, travel, meals and lodging – are tax deductible according to the Treasury Regulation 1.162-5 Coughlin vs. Commissioner, 203 F 2d 307.

I want to ensure that you make the decision that’s right for you, and that you make an informed decision, so here are a few final thoughts.

The fact that you’ve read this far indicates that you aren't completely satisfied with your current public speaking skills.

However things may be going at the moment, deep down you probably know that you could be a more professional and effective speaker, and that preparing for your presentations should be easier and a lot less stressful.

I'm inviting you to take your presentation skills to a whole new level. In just one or two days you can discover how your inability to effectively communicate your knowledge and expertise to others has been holding you back, and what you need to do to gain the reputation for being a polished presenter.

Compare these one or two days with the months and years you’ve already spent on your education and training. Isn’t it worth a few extra days to make sure that you are presenting yourself and your ideas in the most professional and effective manner possible?

Many other past participants have taken the time to write and share similar experiences. This could be you!

Now I'm not going to lie and tell you that all you have to do is sit in the class and you'll become a great speaker -- it's not quite that simple! After the Boot Camp you've going to have to get up in front of people and practice. But if you apply the strategies and techniques taught in this intensive workshop, just a few at a time, you'll be amazed at how quickly you progress and the attention you'll attract because of your new found skills.

Perhaps you’re worried about the cost. Remember that this is an investment. Maybe you will recoup your investment by attracting new customers; maybe you will recoup it by being assigned to a desirable new project, impressing just the right people in upper management, or landing that perfect promotion or new position. In any case, you can expect a tangible return on your investment not just in the foreseeable future but over and over again for years to come.

Let me help you to find your unique voice and share your message, whatever it may be, with the rest of the world. You owe it to yourself to take advantage of this training opportunity -- and you deserve it! Click here to reserve your place now!
