Your Personal Trainer
The Prepare to Speak Personal Trainer — a self-guided, computer-based course and speaker-support tool.
Based on requests from Prepare to Speak clients and visitors to our Web site, we are now introducing Prepare to Speak in a self-directed format: Prepare to Speak Personal Trainer.
The Personal Trainer package, which includes the CD-ROM, book and other tools for success, is ideal for the busy professional. We know how busy you are. We all have good intentions when we buy books or computer programs designed to develop a new skill or make our lives easier. Unfortunately, they often sit on a shelf and simply remind us of how our good intentions don't always see completion.
| "In
my last trial, I put to work all of the communication principles
I learned from Gayle Brickman and Prepare to Speak. The
result: The jury awarded my client a substantial verdict. I attribute
our success in that case to the principles of effective communication
that I learned. I intend on using these principles in all of
my future trials." - Attorney Richard Moncada |
When you're busy, you often need a little extra help in achieving your goal. That's where Prepare to Speak Personal Trainer comes in.
We ensure your success by providing a formula for success:
The right materials: Our CD-ROM and training materials provide you with the information you need to prepare clear, dynamic presentations in as little as 15 minutes.
The right options: First time users will want to complete the entire Personal Trainer, but as you become more familiar with the system and your abilities, SelfChecks and examples help you become more efficient.
The right support: Not only can you sign up for our free Tip of the Month, but our on-going support system includes friendly refreshers and strategies for getting the most out of the training.
The Prepare to Speak Personal Trainer guides you through the process of developing a presentation, but without the need to spend time in a formal seminar. It:
Improves confidence and delivery
Allows you to work at your own pace
Helps identify and reach speaking goal
Guarantees a clear message
Does not require a computer to use
With the training package, you're still taking advantage of the proven, five-step process, but without having to make time for a formal seminar. Extra worksheets are included in the back of the book, and the enclosed CD-ROM includes an interactive version of the Personal Training system that allows you to complete, save, e-mail and print your worksheets from the convenience of your own computer.
The program has been designed to work in two ways:
In a hurry? Then simply use the headers and sidebars as informal guides for creating your presentation. Even when working under a tight deadline, this path keeps you on the right track and organized from start to finish. To streamline the process even further, all worksheets can be utilized by relying on the interactive CD-ROM, included with all levels of the Prepare to Speak Personal Trainer. It's ideal for on the road or at your desk.
For a more detailed self-training experience, start with the "How to get the most out of this book" and follow through to the Speaker's Map, a concise blueprint that brings together all of the components of a successful presentation. Use the SelfChecks and sidebars to ensure you're on the right track, and use the Appendix of samples and exercises to increase and polish your organizational skills.
