"The
ABC's were practical, inspiring, and creative ways to
approach speaking from a centered place. I liked that
they were brief yet rich."

The ABCs of Presence
in Public Speaking Toolkit
To help you find ways to create
more balance in your life so that you can more easily become
balanced when you speak, we have developed a set of strategies
called The ABCs of
Presence in Public Speaking Toolkit. Organized
alphabetically, each topic presents a simple activity or awareness
that you can incorporate into your daily life as a way to
create more balance. Under each weekly topic we briefly describe
how that tool will help you become a more confident and relaxed
public speaker.
The following is a sneak preview
of the possible topics that you will receive if you subscribe
to our weekly ABCs of Presence in Public Speaking
Toolkit.

Here's what readers say about The ABCs of Presence
in Public Speaking Toolkit:
| Jan
Huneycutt Lightner
Program Officer
CommunityCare Foundation
Northwest Arkansas Community Foundation
"Carla- it is wonderful
to hear a "professional" person speak in a
language that I know "personally," but hadn't
fully integrated into my professional world. It is encouraging
and has helped me simply be more of who I truly am,
in the presence of others. It's as if I needed some
sort of permission to approach public speaking from
an unconventional perspective. Thanks. Early on, I didn't
understand HOW helpful the articles would be. So, after
reading them I discarded the emails. Several weeks later,
I began saving them all, and have referred back to them
often. The articles have been incredibly helpful to
me and can help so many others see what change occurs
when we shift our focus and intention. "

I simply admired the honesty
and clarity with which they were written. Many of them
confirmed and expressed some of my own ideas in a fresh
and novel way. Well done!

As someone who has not attended
your training, I appreciate this series as a way to
introduce the concepts you will be teaching me in your
program. All the articles are very well written and
very encouraging. Thanks for providing this to me!

Jen, a researcher in Massachusetts
The toolkit helped me prepare
speeches I gave at my Toastmasters' club. I don't have
any regular speaking engagements, but I occasionally
have opportunities to present on a topic, so the toolkit
will be more and more useful for me and other people
I can give it to.

It was great to get the weekly
tip in my in-box. Reading it reminded me of the classes
that I took and was a great reminder to embody the skills
that I learned with you.
