Matthew Cossolotto to Conduct Podium Power! Workshop for Major Corporate Client -- Speak Your Way to the Peak!

 

Workshop covers original concepts contained in Cossolotto’s forthcoming book Unleash Your Authentic Podium Power!, including seven words that could change your life –

“There’s No Such Thing As Public Speaking!”

 

 

 

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, NY – NOVEMBER 23, 2006 – Matthew Cossolotto (aka The Podium Pro) today announced that he will conduct a Podium Power! workshop for a major corporate client on November 29, 2006, in Orlando, Florida.  Cossolotto is the president of Ovations International and author of HabitForce! – the “User’s Guide for Your Personal Operating System” – and the forthcoming Unleash Your Authentic Podium Power! 

 

“The ability to stand up and speak confidently and effectively before audiences of all sizes is a critical leadership and success skill,” says Cossolotto.  “Becoming a more effective speaker begins with demystifying the act of speaking itself.  Speaking with other people is something most of us do quite naturally every day.  It’s a mistake to label a certain kind of speaking as ‘public’ speaking.  This creates unnecessary stress and raises unrealistic expectations.  A key insight from my Podium Power! program and my forthcoming book is a truly revolutionary idea in the field of presentation skills training.  I believe these seven words could change your life:  There’s no such thing as public speaking!  They will almost certainly give your career and your self-confidence a big boost.” 

 

Matthew’s Podium Power! half-day and full-day workshops typically include 8-12 participants and involve a combination of lectures, discussions, and videotaped exercises.  They are ideal for leadership development, management/sales training, and team-building programs.
