Do you tell a great story? Do people listen to you? How can you tell? Many companies offer public speaking training. Why choose ours? Ascend combines best practices for clarifying messages, understanding audiences, and how to present the most authentic.

Public speaking is not a “one size fits all” bag of tricks. We take the time to understand your personality, vocal quality, confidence level, and communication style. We customize a plan using our experience as an award-winning television and video producer to take your performance to the next level. Do you know how to breathe, establish a connection with your audience and make people really understand what you are trying to say? We can show you how.

We can also facilitate mock press conferences, board meetings, and on-camera media training as your needs require.

This class is perfect for individuals who are just beginning a job interview process, have recently been promoted into a managerial role, or have a big upcoming presentation or speaking engagement on the calendar. 

Our instructor is frequently the keynote speaker at global conferences for audiences of thousands and he developed this curriculum based on his own fear of public speaking. Whether you are naturally introverted or extroverted you will benefit from this practical approach to putting your most professional self forward.
