Tier 1 · Module 02
Prepared Speaking
Make your prepared words carry the weight they deserve.
Why it matters
You prepared. You practised. And still the speech, interview, pitch or sales call didn't land the way it should have.
This module teaches you to write, prepare, practise and prime yourself, so that when you've prepared, it shows.
Activities
Two activities, practised until they're yours.
Strength Work
A topic you love talking about, designed to keep you comfortable. It uses the styles of expression and emotions that come most naturally to you.
Growth Work
A topic I choose for you, designed to make you uncomfortable. It uses the styles of expression and emotions you usually avoid.
Progressions
Five progressions, practised until they're yours.
Structure
Frame and order your ideas within a simple system, so they're clearer and more memorable.
Stories and Humor
Write stories and jokes that fit the theme of your speech, place them well and deliver them in practice.
Tone and Expression
Divide your speech into tones, mark the words and phrases to emphasise, and practise each one.
Record and Review
Record yourself and review your words, voice and body language. We discuss your feedback and find solutions together, until you can coach yourself.
Impact Tools
Psychological tools that give your speech a sharper impact.
