What makes a speech worth hearing?

Is it the subject matter...or is it the eloquence of the speaker?

Have you ever heard speeches and wonder why they were made? Have you ever delivered a speech yourself and received only polite applause...or less?

Barack Obama's speeches are now played repeatedly on YouTube and elsewhere. A single speech took him from obscure Senator to United States President in just four years. Have you considered why?

Can you make a similar impact with the speeches that you make?

You'll hear some of the answers on Wednesday 25th February, at the Thistle Westminster Hotel in Victoria, when Phillip Khan-Panni will deliver his Masterclass, How to Make a Speech Worth Hearing.

You will hear how to:

• Connect with your listeners
• Deserve their attention
• Make your message relevant
• Understand the difference between benefits and pain
• Sharpen up speeches that you have prepared
• Improve the way you sound
• Distinguish between Action and Applause
• Reach the hearts of your hearers

Phillip has won countless speech and evaluation contests in Toastmasters and is now a professional speaker and trainer. He will identify the six most common obstacles and eight essentials in public speaking and give you the tools to finetune your techniques.

It will be an interactive session that could transform your approach to speech making and inspire you to discover the difference that YOU can make.

Don't miss it!
