It is often said that most people would rather die than get up in front of an audience to speak.
Have you been asked to give a presentation in your organization? While hard work and good ideas are essential to success, your ability to express those ideas and get others to join you is just as important.
If this thought makes you nervous you are not alone. Many speakers lack the skills and confidence to make effective presentations. We have all been victims of speakers, trainers and teachers who put us to sleep. Despite knowing how ineffective many speakers are, many of us have found that, despite the best intentions, we haven’t fared much better.
You knew the topic and the ideas were written down, but the presentation still didn’t go well. Was it the way you delivered the speech? Was it because the audience didn’t seem interested?
Don’t get nervous — get organized. Presentation nervousness is most often caused by poor preparation. During this program, Debra J. Schmidt will teach you how to improve your presentation skills to help you build rapport and connect with your audience.
Most organizations today are constantly reshaping themselves, shifting and flexing to fit our rapidly changing world. That’s the only way to survive in this fiercely competitive environment. Look for it to restructure, outsource, downsize, subcontract and form new alliances.
You need to know that resistance to change is almost always a dead-end street. The career opportunities come when you align immediately with new organizational needs and realities. Organizations want people who adapt fast, not those who resist change. Companies put people in charge who are behind their efforts to change the organization. They promote people who get on board and turn the people who commit to the change into organizational leaders.
Fear and resistance to change in the workplace can be transformed into creativity and innovation. This humorous, interactive and thought-provoking program will teach you how to identify barriers to change build rapport and reduce conflict. Debra J. Schmidt will teach you leadership skills that will help you and your team effectively manage change.

All Workshops Are Presented by Debra J. Schmidt
Is “walking the talk” a tired old cliché or a bold new concept? Very few managers today are receiving formal management training. As a result, many are poor communicators and weak in their delegation and leadership skills. According to a Gallup poll, 25% of U.S. employees would fire their bosses if they could. Why? Because many managers set high standards for their employees, yet fail to abide by those same standards.
Effective team leaders and managers are those who are able to bring out the best in their employees. Debra’s leadership and team building workshops get results! She teaches managers how to lead by example and turns teams of frustrated employees into solution-oriented teams.
