Teeing off on the first hole: Presentation skills you need to excel as a club pro


How do you feel when you interview for a new job? When you deliver your monthly presentation to your board of directors? What about acting as a host - in front of the whole membership - for the various golf outings at your club?

o "I wish it would just go away. I'm so nervous I know everyone in the back row can see my legs shaking and hear my stomach churning."

o "Great! We're going to have a great time and I'm so glad I get to be involved in this event!"

Most pros check the first circle. Not just pros, but polls tell us that many people fear public speaking more than they fear death! Your nerves may not be at that extreme, but if you're uncomfortable speaking to a group, realize that you are not alone!

Presenting to a large group is challenging. It requires poise, skill, confidence, flexibility, and more. And here's the good news: you can learn to be an excellent public speaker! This workshop is designed to launch you on your journey of continuous improvement as a speaker.

After this workshop you will be able to:

  1. Prepare quickly and thoroughly for each speaking engagement so that you enter the arena with confidence.
  2. Design a presentation that will connect you to your audience and make it easy for them to grasp your message.
  3. Bring stories into your presentations so you project a friendly, comfortable, casual presence.
  4. Handle questions in a way that will maintain and enhance your credibility.
  5. Understand what it takes to be authentic with your audience so you connect emotionally.


This workshop will include practice and video taping.
