Coaching Programs
In this competitive workplace and globalized marketplace, speaking clearly and with confidence is of the utmost importance.
Sharing your ideas and vision in a succinct way creates buy in from investors, directors, council members, employees, and teammates to name a few.
It is important to be engaging and articulate when sharing your ideas, and to present them with confidence. That is what leads to new opportunities for your company and momentum among your team members.
Having worked with executives, tribal leaders, pageant hopefuls, performers and business men and women. Alyssa has noticed that the differentiating factor between those who are successful and those who fall short, is confidence.
That means they are passed up for promotions, opportunities, the crown (in the case of pageants), funding, roles in shows and movies, in other words their dreams pass them by.
Confidence is an inner game that takes work. But it is the core of success in public speaking, communications and performances. Everyday should be considered a performance to an extent. You are presenting yourself to the world in a way you want to be remembered. You are creating your personal brand.
Without the internal work of confidence building, and practicing some of the mechanics and mindset tricks that come with performing and speaking, deserving people are passed up for the opportunities and recognition they deserve.
I have always tried to improve my public speaking. Alyssa has helped me speak with confidence. She uses mental, emotional, and physical techniques to prepare messages that speak to large audiences or smaller groups. Also she uses her writing skills to construct my thoughts that deliver powerful messages. I don’t worry about speaking engagements anymore but look forward to them.
