Method: 5 Pi llars to Speaking Confidently DESCRIPTION:Speech Title: \;The C.A.N.D.Y. Method: 5 Pillars to Speakin g Confidently Speech Abstract: \; Do you know that feeling you get before taking the stage\, grabbing the mic\, or stepping up in front of a group? That feeling that makes your palms sweat\, your heart race\, and y our breath shorten up. Would it be helpful to know how to calm and center yourself so that you can show up and speak with confidence? I have been speaking in front of people since I was 8 years old. I started with church and the classroom. In my teen years\, I spoke at retreats and youth confe rences. During my college years\, I pursued becoming a corporate motivatio nal speaker. As a mom\, I presented to many ministries and local organizat ions. Just before the pandemic\, I attended Brendon Burchard’s “World ’s Greatest Speaker Training”. During the lockdown\, I became a studen t of Les Brown’s “Power Voice Academy.” While my happy place has be en on stages\, I did not feel the same when it came to doing Facebook live s and virtual events. I was uncomfortable and self-conscious any time I wa s in front of a camera\, not liking the way I looked or sounded. Develo ping my video conference led me to design my 5-pillar method to help speak ers reframe their nervousness into excitement and minimize their verbal fi llers so that they can communicate with dynamic presence\, certainty\, and confidence. I am excited and honored to share this method with you today ! 5 Learning Objectives: \; Clarity: Get clear about YOU\, your story or message\, and your audience Affirmation: Empower your self-tal k Necessity: The roadmap to take you from where you are now to where you want to go as a speaker Discipline: Using your habits to amplify your s trengths YOU: Own your amazingness and brilliance DTSTART:20230725T214500Z DTEND:20230726T000000Z DTSTAMP:20230129T071534Z ORGANIZER;CN=PMI North Carolina Chapter:MAILTO:bounce@ncpmi.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
