Lecture Topics:
How to speak in front of an audience and convince your listeners:
The lecture covers the three basic elements that determine the quality of a speech:
1. Context (the circumstances in which the speech is delivered - time during the day, target audience, the stage setup etc.)
2. Content (the arguments and messages incorporated in the speech)
3. Style (the speaker´s manner - body language, voice, tempo etc.).
At the end of the lecture you will get tips and recommendations that will help you to be more persuasive the next time you speak to an audience.
Anat Gelber also conducts executive workshops:
These workshops provide participants with theoretical and practical tools that will enable them to deliver better speeches. You will learn the basics of a persuasive speech (i.e. well developed arguments, a clear logical flow between arguments, structure etc.), as well as ways to communicate your message more effectively (correct body language, tone and tempo, maintaining eye contact etc.). In addition, rhetorical games will train you in the practical use of these tools to ensure they are assimilated and available for your use. Participants will learn how to prepare for a speech, write it and convincingly deliver it. At the end of the workshop, each participant will be a better speaker and will feel a definite improvement in his rhetorical abilities.
