Speaking WITH your Audience: Increase your Impact through Heartfelt Presence Communication Skills (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499129250)

Far too many books on presentation skills focus on the speaker but somehow overlook the two-way, interactive dimension of engaging with the audience. "Heartfelt presence" is about being present with your whole heart when you communicate, receptive and responsive to what is going on around you while you speak or listen. With this book you will be able to 1) ADOPT AN ALL-ROUND PREPARATION APPROACH. Working with your Mind, your Body, and your Heart, it helps you to build your messages with consistency, conviction and passion. 2) DEVELOP YOUR FLEXIBILITY. To cultivate the skill of responding to your listeners' immediate needs, it encourages you to use the rich training ground of your everyday life. It can also help you improve the quality of your interpersonal skills. 3) ACHIEVE HEARTFELT PRESENCE. Whether we speak or listen, at every moment we have the choice to truly connect with others or to remain in our bubble. Heartfelt presence is about creating the space in our heart for true connection. Even when the situation does not permit verbal interaction, your silent listeners express at all times what they feel through their unconscious body language. The final goal is for you to achieve maximum impact while you communicate because you succeed in remaining congruent while being fully responsive to the needs of your 'live' audience. 'Speaking WITH your Audience' offers a different perspective about communication and interaction, encouraging you to step more often into your 'Greater Self'. How? By connecting to your values and by cultivating the 'intelligence of your heart'. Dorotea is a Coach in Leadership Communication who also has 12 years of stage experience as an actress.
