ACPS is The Art & Craft of Public Speech

ACPS

The Art (is not magic)

  • It’s a mind shift.
  • Away from fear, which turns us inward;
  • Toward confidence, which looks out.

To speak from a place of calm strength, we need strategies to orient us away from ourselves towards what our audience needs. People listen when you have something to offer. Powerful – memorable – public speaking is rooted in your belief in what you have to give.

ACPS

The Craft (is not rocket science)

  • It’s simple.
  • Away from muddled presentations without focus;
  • Toward fluid & clear communication.

Smooth, assured public speech requires a solid foundation. Just as successful marketing rests upon a succinct value proposition, so do the best TED talks revolve round a simple central point. Communication that resonates – and penetrates! – is dependent on well-structured messaging and the practiced delivery to make it sing.
