Public speaking training programs and services to develop your authentic leadership presence

RiverWays offers a comprehensive set of public speaking coaching and training with a primary emphasis on developing an authentic leadership presence for individuals and organizations. All of our programs are designed to be flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of public speaking needs.

Authentic leadership presence is a subtle skill that requires time to integrate and internalize. Our most comprehensive public speaking training class, the 12 week Speaking with Confidence for Results, is designed specifically to give you the opportunity to truly acquire this essential leadership competency. This leadership program offers a systematic approach to mastering ALL the elements necessary to become a great speaker.

For some people, making a 12 week commitment is not always possible. With this in mind, we also offer two separate evening and weekend programs which will give you the basics of our approach

  • SpeakingPresence: Speaking Confidently in Your Natural Elementsm: This is an ongoing program offered once a month on a Wednesday evening for both beginners and seasoned speakers. (Check calendar for dates)
  • Successfully Speaking Intensive: In this two-day intensive (normally offered monthly) you will learn the five essential strategies for becoming more present and confident when you speak and you will have the opportunity to practice these while designing and delivering a 5 minute presentation. You can participate in this program without any previous experience.

If none of these options meet your specific needs, then you might want to consider private coaching. Our coaching sessions are designed to provide the extra flexibility to meet the uniquely personal speaking needs of individuals wishing to become more effective speakers.

Here's what participants say about our programs

“RiverWays’ programs offer an optimum learning environment to develop your speaking ability.”

It’s been more than a year since I participated in your public speaking program and I’m amazed that not only have my new speaking skills not diminished, but they’ve actually improved.

I’ve been doing a lot of speaking to promote a book I co-authored about my family s experiences during the Holocaust (Inge: A Girl s Journey Through Nazi Europe), and I find that I continually think about the things I learned from you. I’m aware of my breath, of my eye contact with members of the audience, of my ability to slow things down, and so on.

The other thing that surprises me is that the terror I feel about public speaking is still with me, only now I’m much more comfortable with it than I was when I started my Riverways program. I know this sounds a bit strange, but it’s almost as if I’ve become friends with my fear. I’ve come to recognize that it’s not going away, and so now I find myself awaiting it, and trying to smile at it and humor it a bit.

The bottom line is that I’m more comfortable in front of audiences, and I know from the feedback I’m receiving, along with new invitations to speak, that I’m connecting with audiences.

Thank you, Carla, for helping me come in closer contact with my own inner strength, and in the process, develop speaking skills I know I’ll have for a lifetime.
