About the One-Day Personal Best Course

The Personal Best Presentation Skills Training Course is designed for those who have made some headway in dealing with their fear of public speaking and are now ready to take their progress to the next level. The focus of the Personal Best Course is to continue to work on effectively managing the anxiety related to speaking while putting more attention on becoming a more effective and confident speaker. The point is not to try to make you into the perfect model speaker, as many programs try to do. Instead, our focus is to help guide and support you toward achieving your own "Personal Best" as a speaker, with your own unique style and way of expressing yourself.

This course will be led by John Brady, who has a background in training and development for a major corporation and who is on the faculty of one of the country's leading Communication Institutes, teaching presentation and communication skills to a range of clients. John is also an external faculty member for Franklin Covey and a certified trainer for the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. In addition, John is a professional public speaker who is experienced in giving keynote speeches in the corporate world.

While John's primary focus is to help you learn to create and deliver a more effective presentation, in both formal and informal settings, he is also very aware of the role that high levels of fear and anxiety play in detracting from being the most confident and effective speaker you can be. He is very familiar with the methods that Janet teaches to help people better manage their fear and anxiety related to speaking and is able to reinforce using these methods while also focusing on improving presentation skills.

The Personal Best Course is held at the The Heritage Inn in Southbury, CT (800-932-3466) on selected Sundays throughout the year from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Course is held on the same weekends that the one-day Refresher Course is held for those who may want a two-day experience, taking the Refresher Course on Day 1 to focus on reducing and better managing the anxiety around public speaking, and taking the Personal Best Course on Day 2 to focus on improving presentation skills. Or, the course can be taken on its own. The cost of the one-day Personal Best Course is $150. The discounted cost for the combined Refresher and Personal Best Courses is $275. As always, there is a full money-back guarantee if you are not fully satisfied with your experience of the Course.

Money-Back Guarantee: If you are not fully satisfied after attending the first half-day of the Personal Best Course, you may receive a full refund of your tuition. Please read our Cancellation Policy.
