Tameside Talks Business hosts a session on mastering public speaking skills at Ashton Library and Information Service. The event provides tips to boost confidence when speaking to a crowd. Tickets are free.
Get ready to crush your next speech with tips and tricks to boost your confidence and wow any crowd.
Join us for September's Tameside Talks Business session and learn how to overcome your nerves and become an awesome public speaker.
Brand pitches, networking, and board room presentations are all examples of instances where being a confident public speaker is a must have for your business. Even actions as simple as picking up the phone to a new client can be daunting, so having the confidence and skills to tackle any speech or conversation is key.
We're thrilled to be joined by Ian Taylor, who will be leading us through September's session to help make you an awesome public speaker.
After graduating in Management Science (Economics) from Lancaster University in 1991, Ian launched a team-building, corporate communications and events business with support from The Prince’s Trust. Over nearly 30 years, he grew it into a multi-million-pound company working globally with major brands including Virgin, Unilever, Marriott, GE, adidas, Apple and Rolls-Royce. Throughout his career, public speaking and presenting have been central to his work, and he has coached CEOs, business leaders, entrepreneurs and first-time speakers to communicate with confidence.
Today, Ian is a professional event host and coach specialising in public speaking and presentation skills. His book, Everything You Ever Need to Know to Be the Best Presenter and Public Speaker You Can Be, is rated five stars on Amazon. Based just outside Manchester, Ian is passionate about supporting his local community through a range of charities and organisations. As Professor Damian Hughes says: “Ian is a master coach and his ideas, which have been earned at the sharp end of business presentations, are invaluable.”
