February 26, 2018

Culver City, Los Angeles, CA

Saturday May 6th and May 7th

flyer_thepublicspeakingcourse.jpg

Back in May, I hosted a 2 day intensive workshop and while only two courageously career-driven professionals were in attendance, it was a fun two days and both Celeste and Becky got a ton of great techniques and one-on-one coaching!

Below is a list of the format for the event and for future events like it:

Day 1: Tips and Techniques
- Learn how to loosen up; play improv games and learn warm up exercises will make you feel at ease and get you out of your own head
- Deliver a prepared speech that is videotaped and reviewed, highlighting your strengths and identifying areas for improvement
- Study tried and true speech structure methods for organizing any speech, from an informational work update, to a persuasive sales pitch, or an entertaining toast
- Understand basic speech delivery techniques; build a solid foundation so that you can connect with your audience

Day 2: Practice and Polish
- Practice advanced speaking styles; take your game to the next level and get the audience eating out of the palm of your hand
- Write and perform mini speeches based on topics of your choice, testing out new techniques in a fun and playful, fast paced format
- Receive customized coaching and set individualized goals for how to maximize your newfound skills in the real world
- Deliver your initial prepared speech, incorporating all the new and improved tips, techniques and style that you’ve learned in the last two days

All attendees get 1 free hour of coaching after completing the weekend seminar.

Feedback from some of my clients:

Nghĩa Lê, President - UTC - UEH ISB Toastmasters Club

“It’s always full of energy to work with one of the most awesome trainers like Matt. My friends and members at Toastmaster Club love him so much (so much that they keep asking me when will be the next Matt Sherwood’s training session). The way he inspires us to come up and make a speech is so unique that it can yield love for public speaking from almost any one. Say no more – as a trainer – Matt is a veteran and a warrior, whom can make others become one like him.”

Alejandra Clarke, Personal Trainer and Blogger - Babes & Weights

“Matt Sherwood is an exceptional communicator. He has a way of being that captures the room and motivates and inspires with his positive energy. I had the pleasure of being part of a public speaking seminar where Matt was the leader and I didn’t want to miss a class, the room was always full when Matt was in leading. Gracias Matt for all the encouragement and motivation!”

Rob Austin, Business Manager - Alkermes

"I owe much of my improvement in my communication skills to Matt.  Prior to working with Matt, the feeling I would get when I knew I had to speak in front of small or large groups was one of anxiety, sweaty palms, a voice that cracked due to nervousness and outright fear.  After working with Matt, I became extremely confident and my employer tells me my speaking and communication skills are unmatched.  He always sought to give me personal feedback on a speech (both verbal and written).  His workshops are fun, engaging and challenging - in a good way!   I highly recommend Matt for anyone who wants to improve their public speaking skills, overall communication skills and their overall self confidence."

Becky Moine, Director of Touring - Live Nation Entertainment

"Matt was very personable and passionate, he took the time to work with each individual to identify his/her goals and create a plan to reaching them.  His workshop was informative and fun, he creates a comfortable environment to practice public speaking in a judgement-free zone.  I would recommend Matt to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills, speech preparation and overall confidence. He is a great guy and truly cares about the cause!"

Jennifer Puckett, Social Engagement Manager - The Social Element  

"I have had to give presentations throughout all of my professional life; and while part of the process is very rewarding, it's also been very stressful. Matt's Communication Community workshops were so positive, he really made these classes a safe place to practice and improve your skills in an environment that felt supportive and positive.

In addition I have since been involved in panel discussions and other public speaking events; and have used Matt's techniques to help me manage my stress in a positive way. I've even had some compliments about my work from colleagues!

Whether you have never given a speech before, or present all of the time, I would definitely recommend working with Matt. I can't wait for his next session!"

Mariano Pérez Silvestro, Student - Saint Andrew's School, La Paz Bolivia

"We met at Saint Andrews School we were a day previous a trip to represent School in a Model of United Nations. Since that day, what you told us helped me to improve. And i wanted to thank you because you helped me to achieve what I am now. Tomorrow I will present as General Secretary of SASMUN. The Model of united nations of Saint Andrews. So I just wanted to thank you."
