San Francisco, CA. (EMWNews) July 22, 2008 — Terry Gault, VP of Services for The Henderson Group, defined this workshop as “combining several programs into one intense skills-development program, where employees learn to communicate effectively one-on-one, leading small groups, standing before intimidating executive audiences, and facilitating meetings.”

Terry Gault will be leading the “By Invitation Only” Complete Communicator Workshop in San Francisco, August 14-15, 2008.

Terry has been a coach, trainer, and consultant in communications skills since 1997. In addition to executive coaching and leading workshops in presentation and communication skills, Terry oversees all curriculum and services and is responsible for the selection, training and development of all trainers and facilitators for The Henderson Group.

Through the Henderson Group’s unique and proven feedback model, participants receive immediate feedback from instructors, peers and videotape, enabling them to rapidly learn, reflect and improve their communication skills. The workshop is limited to 10 participants to insure plenty of personal attention to each participant.

A. Anastasi, of Oracle, said of the workshop, “I have used the skills learned in class. In fact, my team is hosting our quarterly departmental meeting on Friday and I again plan on using your techniques. I have taken several courses through Oracle University and I can honestly say that yours was the most exciting and challenging of them all. Thank you.”

Specific Skills Mastered:

• Structuring presentations for maximum impact
• “Thinking on your feet” to better handle questions and objections
• Engaging listeners and increasing attention span
• Building rapport and credibility with audiences
• Exploring thinking and reasoning in ways that build relationships
• Turning hostile discussions into joint problem-solving sessions

Terry Gault further explained, “Presentations – whether one-on-one meetings or speaking before a huge audience – can drive fear to exquisitely high levels. Some fear is useful; it forces you to take time out of your crammed schedule to prepare the presentation. But when fear crosses the line from excitement to dread, it can impair concentration and kill energy. It can negatively affect that carefully crafted speech and make you swear off presentations forever … which would be a shame. Few skills will propel your career faster than the ability to speak in public. We help people overcome the fear of public speaking.”

Chuck Kuglen, The Henderson Group’s VP of Sales and Business Development, added, “Our work has to be experienced to truly understand its value. We use these workshops as a way to introduce our work experientially to new prospective clients. With that in mind, we set aside a couple of free seats for the right candidates.”
