Speak To Be Heard!

Influencing Others to Take Action

With change comes uncertainty. How will your people influence their listeners to act on what they have to say? Whether your people are influencing through a presentation, sales call, meeting, conference call or face-to-face conversation how they deliver determines whether or not others see them as credible, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Without doing this effectively, they inhibit their maximum potential to: motivate, influence and increase profits. 


Stacey’s popular “Speak To Be Heard” keynote will help your people eliminate the static that plagues communicative delivery - to influence, negotiate, sell, or simply effectively communicate face-to-face with a clear message. She’ll explain the positive actions your people can take to increase their impact and value to their peers, clients and associates. This highly interactive session will give your people immediate and practical tools to influence their listeners to take action on what they have to say and build stronger relationships.


Time-sensitive, results-oriented fresh ideas and strategies change behavior and give individuals powerful skills and techniques to enhance and maximize their ability to connect and engage with their listeners. Your people will learn how to give the presentation, sales call, or message of their life and masterfully respond to those dreaded Q&As. No matter how high their communication goals, they’ll leave this session as a more effective leader, communicator, presenter and/or salesperson.


This highly interactive workshop focuses on professional business communication, including preparation, structure, strategy, delivery, use of visual aids, managing behaviors and handling questions-and-answers and objections.
