The Total Coaching Systems approach to public speaking is based on an interconnecting ring model, demonstrating the relationship and interaction of body, mind and heart as three separate, yet interdependent, facets of effective communication.
We are making a focus to speaker coaching for those accelerating the clean energy transition, which has come about as a result of the increasing need for climate friendly organizations to be successful.
An inherently physical experience, public speaking automatically engages the body. From natural fight or flight responses to feelings of euphoria and flow, your Body will have a major influence on your public speaking success. In an effort to improve communication, we will help your Body in conjunction with your Mind and your Heart.
Your Mind crafts the logos (logic) of your communication. Your communication must have a logical foundation and flow. Additionally, your communication must derive from your knowledge, methods of thinking, values and objectives for your communication to be a natural extension of you. Your Mind also instructs and affirms your body during your speaking experience while acting on relational and environmental cues. We will help you train your Mind to understand, accept and interact with your natural physical responses while consciously elevating your speaking ability in your act of speaking.
Your Heart provides the pathos for your speech. Pathos, the quality of your speech that evokes feelings, is the means through which you make an emotional connection with your audience. Whether a mundane or a complex topic, you must make an emotional connection with your audience in order to successfully inspire them. We tap into your Heart to capitalize on charisma, create images through your life stories and engage your audience’s Hearts as well.
