Speaking with Credibility and Confidence

In Speaking with Credibility and Confidence, you'll learn how your posture, voice, eye contact and other non-verbal signals influence how the audience perceives you. The Self-Evaluation Checklist will help you to identify what behaviors you need to work on to raise your effectiveness.

Whether you're meeting one-on-one with clients, interacting with colleagues or delivering a formal presentation, appearing confident and credible will significantly raise your effectiveness. This 30-minute DVD will help you to identify the behaviors that signal confidence and credibility so you can take control of the image you project.

Cara Hale Alter, founder and principal trainer for Speechskills LLC, has trained thousands of business professionals on how to align their body language with their message. Cara defines and demonstrates how your posture, voice, eye contact and other non-verbal signals influence how the audience perceives you. You'll learn what it takes to be intentionally effective, so that you can call on these skills any time you need them - even if the stakes are high, even if you're thinking on your feet, even if your adrenalin is running.
