Afternoon Session
Note: This session requires an additional registration fee.
Speak Like a Pro! – Hot Seats
12:30 PM – 2:00 PM
Getting better as a speaker is not a spectator sport. At FSA’s October meeting featuring speaker coach and trainer Gary Rifkin, you will have the opportunity to hone your skills at a special “Hot Seat” session in the afternoon, where you will have a one-on-one speech coaching session with Gary in front of a caring audience. You will build more confidence and competence on the platform while also learning from your peers. Spaces for this unique opportunity are limited so register today to be in the Audience or a Hot Seat Participant!
Note from Gary: The hot seat can be anything you want it to be. You can work on re-crafting your opening, re-framing your content, or even just fine-tuning a segment you are already delivering. Usually folks are working on a story or figuring out how to bridge the story to a message (or vice versa). It’s likely that you don’t need more than 5-7 minutes of content. Oh, and I’ll probably interrupt you about 20 times as you’re delivering! I promise it will be fun and not too painful. 🙂
*Session Audience – $20
*HOT SEAT Participant – $100
ONLY 2 HOT SEATS are available for purchase! (first come first served). Registration for hot seats opens on 10/2/24 at 10:00 am Est.
Register below for both sessions
