Description
Giving presentations is difficult for two main reasons:
our own nervousness, and
lack of speaking skills.
And yet, giving presentations is incredibly beneficial. It not only gives us new business opportunities, but it also trains us to be better teachers, increases confidence, and develops leadership skills. Public speaking is an all-around life-changer.
What we forget is that these events are always and only about the audience: what they hear, and what they are inspired to do with the information. With this class you will learn a model that you can apply to any content and any situation to give presentations that spur action.
The first few times I gave a presentation, I didn't remember a thing I had said: I was so nervous that the whole thing became a blur. Once I realized speaking was a necessity for me, I set out to change that. If I had to do it, I was going to have fun doing it.
With this course I will share a step by step process for picking the best content, overcoming fear (the transparency illusion), building a compelling narrative, interacting with your audience, and learning to love public speaking.
Speaking can be great for everyone involved: you as speaker and the audience when they get something practical.
Who this course is for:
- Independent professionals who build their business through networking
- Employees who present to upper management
- Agencies who are regularly creating pitch decks
- Business development professionals

Hello and welcome to my profile page.
I'm Rebecca G Brizi, a business consultant, avid reader, and dedicated drinker of coffee.
Mainly: I'm a strong believer in how systems and plans make you better at your job. Because when you don't have to worry about "what comes next", you can use all your energy for growing your business.
My courses are all premised on this theory. This is material I use to consult with my clients and to run my own business. You will find courses for freelancers and courses for small businesses, and courses that apply to both.
A bit about my background: I spent eleven years working in a software company, joining at the initial startup phase and moving the company through a product change, to establishing a new market and subsidiary company in the United States. The latter was generating more than 45% of business growth (by volume and value) within 3 years.
Most importantly: I learned the impact of good strategy. In other words, the importance of ensuring all our business goals, plans, people, and resources were properly aligned and working towards the same goal.
Since March 2017 I work freelance providing consulting, training, and plan creations for small and medium sized businesses who are establishing their market or pursuing new growth strategies.
I hope you enjoy my courses, I hope you learn great new ideas for your business, and I encourage you to send me your questions, success stories, and comments.
