How Is This Different From The Apprenticeship?

The Apprenticeship™ is our flagship live communication workshop, aimed at helping people of all kind strategize for and manage difficult interpersonal and communication situations that arise in daily life. This workshop focuses on learning tactics for and practicing tackling hard conversations, hiring and firing, negotiations, family and office politics, and much more.

The Speaker School is our newest live workshop and designed for individuals who have a strong desire to improve some aspect of their speaking whether that be for a presentation, pitch, interview or other public engagement. This workshop will offer individuals a place to both refine and rehearse so their message is unmistakably clear and powerful.

Both workshops are live, in-person, two days and centered around experiential learning. Both will feature a hands-on approach complete with video analysis, formal evaluation and peer/self reflection and feedback. You’ll be taught how to practice and refine under varying levels of difficulty so that when the time comes, you are prepared for any conversation or presentation that comes your way.  

What Will I Leave Speaker School With?

Every attendee of the speaker school workshop will leave having undergone extensive live practice and repetition of the message they seek to refine. You will also leave with game plan for the message you want to deliver, how you want to deliver it and how to captivate and move your audience to action.

You will also receive a formal evaluation, video analysis and peer feedback.

Without a doubt, the hands-on learning aspect of our workshops is where the magic happens. Where else do you have the chance to practice these skills without being at risk of losing a job, opportunity, money or relationship?

 

What If I Don’t Have A Formal Presentation To Give?

That’s okay! Our speaker school isn’t just for people giving formal presentations or even pitches.

Here’s the thing- at some point we can guarantee that you’ll be asked to or need to persuade, synthesize, influence or motivate SOMEONE in your life.

The skills necessary to decide what you want to share, how to share it, what they need / want to hear and how to deliver in a way that gets AND keeps their attention is absolutely crucial regardless of what field, profession or phase of your life you’re in.

Learning this process will be immeasurably important and offer you a competitive advantage in all aspects of life.

What Makes This Different From Other Speaking Schools?

While we can’t speak to every other speaking school out there (there are quite a few), we can promise that ours is one of the only ones that is entirely hands-on and practical. Between our research backed evaluation, video analysis, peer feedback and presentation blueprint you’ll get right to work refining and delivering your message so you walk away with the confidence to effectively convey a message regardless of the time or place.

Will This Be Held In Other Locations?

Right now we’re only hosting The Speaker School in Atlanta, GA at the Art of Coaching Headquarters.
