Three rules for successful sessions.
Rule one: tell it like it is.
Beating around the bush won’t make you better.
There are plenty of communication coaches who focus on what you’re doing right to make you feel good.
Sure—there’s a place for praise.
But you won’t improve without precise, productive, persuasive feedback.
Dr. Iain assesses your areas of development and employs a variety of challenging drills. From tried and true classics with decades of development to cutting-edge, AI-supplemented strategies, they’re personalized for your needs and designed to make you better.
You’re told the truth so you can tell your story the way it deserves to be told.
Rule two: follow the right framework.
Strengthen your speech with strong structures.
Consider the VCR framework of audience engagement:
Vibes: whether or not your audience would describe you with desirable adjectives.
Clarity: whether or not your audience understands your message.
Reactions: whether or not your audience is given opportunities to react to your speech—and whether you use those reactions to enhance your presence in real time.
Or the five S’s of speech delivery: style, substance, structure, self-confidence, and storytelling.
Or the three A’s of speech writing: annotation, addition, and appearance.
They take a minute to understand, but a lifetime to master.
Rule three: speech is a skill.
If anybody tells you that talking is a talent--that's not the whole story.
At first, many of us aren't comfortable commanding a room's attention.
Sure, some people come from backgrounds that might give them more performance prep. That context makes them more comfortable. But public speaking is a learned SKILL.
Skills, like muscles, are developed. If ignored, they atrophy.
