Elemental Speakingsm:
The Five Essential Elements for Speaking with
Confidence, Authenticity and Presence
RiverWays' Elemental Speaking model will give you the tools to quickly and effectively transform the anxiety of public speaking into an ability to give confident, dynamic and authentic presentations.
We take an unusual but very powerful approach to public speaking training. We use the five natural elements as metaphoric reminders of strategies for becoming confident and authentic speakers. It turns out that these five elements provide a very powerful way to improve your speaking ability and success. Each of the five elements can support you in developing your unique speaking presence.
Earth: Identify and access all your support
Air: Relax and establish your natural breath, rhythm and pacing
Fire: Tap into your purpose and passion for the subject of your talk
Water: Trust yourself and your ability to “go with the flow”
Space: Discover the power of silence as a tool to become centered and connected
Our focus on these five elements provides the following benefits:
- It's a surprisingly powerful way to improve your speaking ability
- It's simple, practical and grounded (not just theoretical)
- There are definite steps that you can practice
- It works in other areas of your life as well
- It's a lot of fun!
You can learn and practice this model in all of our group programs:
- Speaking with Confidence for Results: Our most comprehensive 12 week leadership skills training course.
- Successfully Speaking: A two-day small group coaching program to learn and practice the five key steps for speaking with confidence, connection and conviction (offered every other month).
