SPEECH AND SEMINAR TOPICS:

"Super-Size and Magnetize Your Business Voice"
Key elements to get your voice heard, awaken reactions and encourage action!
Few things can be more of an advantage or detriment to your career than the sound of your voice. In business, you speak to people every day. Whether you're speaking with your employees or the public, you're managing or training people, closing sales, leading meetings, giving presentations, answering phones, recording outgoing and incoming voice messages, working your company’s trade show exhibit, presenting or receiving awards, introducing yourself at networking events or giving a speech to your professional association, each and every day, you need a powerful, confident professional voice. So your business voice MUST BE a top notch communication tool, an asset, your vocal advantage.

Learn to define your specific message; edit your speech or presentation; voice quality and effective delivery; vocal variety, adding excitement and life to your voice using variety in pace, pitch, rhythm, volume, tone; the 5 “W’s” and “How” of speaking; audience analysis; articulation, phrasing, timing and rhythm; correct breathing and projecting the voice; greetings and courtesies; professional body language; correct microphone usage; attending networking events and introducing yourself; importance of preparation, practice, warm ups; controlling your fear; overcoming the "um" factor; things to avoid to take care of your voice; voice mail, an extension of yourself (outgoing and incoming recorded messages).

Your Self-Introductions May Be Costing You Millions!
If you have to introduce yourself to potential clients, at networking events, over the phone, and to people you meet anytime and anywhere, then this is THE seminar for you. Learn how to be confident and specific, and not sound like you're rambling, scattered and desperate for business. Time is MONEY in advertising and business! A 30 second commercial during a Super Bowl costs advertisers in excess of $3 million dollars.
So, how much are your self-introductions "commercials" costing you?

Lauren Bishop will teach you how to make spectacular self-introductions. Learn about: the importance of being concise, precise and how to entice. She'll discuss what should be in your 15 and 30 second self introduction "commercials" (or sound bites) and your 1 and 2 minute "info"mercials. She will talk about the importance of adding vocal variety to your delivery, show how to use a microphone correctly, breathe properly and project your voice. She'll talk about the importance of planning, preparation and practice, how to avoid giving too much information and making your commercial memorable and repeatable.

Go "NUTS" Networking! Network YOU To Success!
Everywhere you go, people should know, who you are and what you do. Learn how to Go NUTS Networking, and Network YOU To Success! Find out how to focus and target your LIVE and in-person networking effort, time and money. Learn the best places and best times to network, the difference between formal and informal networking, what to say and how to say it, crucial professional presence issues, the power of a smile and positive attitude, the best questions to ask, how to start a conversation or break into a group, what to take with you, goal setting, follow-up and follow-through, etiquette, taboo topics, what to wear, what to eat, what's in it for you (WIIFY) versus what's in it for them (WIIFT), best groups and places to network, and so much more.

Give Outstanding Overviews and Terrific Testimonials!
This seminar is for anyone in a sales position, especially direct marketing sales, who has to give an overview or detailed presentation of their product, service or company to potential clients, customers and/or business partners. Too often overviews are too long, too detailed, very scattered and filled with way too much technical information. This seminar will teach you the difference between an overview and a detailed presentation, how to focus your thoughts, keep your message simple, concise, precise and enticing so people truly hear your message, have a positive reaction and then take immediate action. Learn what to say and how best to say it, so you keep people's attention, without sounding needy, desperate, overbearing and annoying.

Testimonials are a direct reflection on you, your taste, confidence and professionalism. And when it comes to testimonials, facts tell, but stories sell. Learn to give terrific, heartfelt testimonials that people hear, feel, relate to and react to, and then they respond and take action.

Transition from Business Talk to Couple's Talk
It’s hard to leave business matters where they belong, at the office. And after a hectic day, it can be hard to transition from communicating in a business environment to communicating in our personal life. At work, the way we speak with others differs immensely from how we speak with our romantic partner. Or at least it should! There should be a dramatic difference in what and how we say things.

Lauren Bishop will give practical, smart, and yes, romantic ideas on how to transition from business talk to kinder, gentler couple’s talk using: vocal variety, adding life and excitement to your voice; greetings, pleasantries, praise, courtesies; work-free zones; don’t you use that tone with me; ASK, don’t tell; “You” versus “I” or “We”; timing is crucial; location, location, location; adult "breathers" and “time-outs”; personal body language; plan, prepare and practice what you're going to say, and how, when and where you'll say it; the importance of dates.
