WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER, WE DIDN’T PUT TOO MUCH THOUGHT INTO SPEAKING. WE JUST HAD THOUGHTS — AND THEN WORDS. TODAY, IT’S DIFFERENT. TECHNOLOGY HAS CREATED A GENERATION OF PEOPLE WHO ONLY KNOW HOW TO PUT THEIR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS INTO TEXT AND EMAIL — NOT INTO SPEECH. WE’VE GOT A BIG PROBLEM. WE HAVE TO RETRAIN PEOPLE INTO SPEECH-FIRST BEINGS. LIKE MUSCLES THAT NEED TO BE STRENGTHENED, OUR SPEAKING SKILLS DO, TOO. AND LIKE MUSCLES, IF YOU DON’T KEEP YOUR TALKING SKILLS STRONG, THEY’LL WEAKEN TO THE POINT OF BEING INEFFECTIVE.
Radio Host and professional speaker Judi Franco has introduced a new and innovative program that goes beyond public speaking. It’s called Talk Theory: The theory being that “word wellness” is a thing.
Over the years, Judi Franco has coached students, business people and professionals, as well as people in the non-working world to communicate well and use words effectively — even with anxiety. Let her customize a coaching session for you.
To find out if Talk Theory coaching is right for you, ask yourself these questions: Are you or are your adult children ever hesitant to speak directly to people? Do you prefer text and email to direct conversations? Do you want to sound more fluid in conversation? Do you dread phone calls? Is it hard to look people in the eyes while speaking to them? Do you find yourself at a loss for words? Would you like to make your conversation more lively and interesting? Do you have a speech coming up and need help with writing and/or execution? Do you have an important meeting, presentation or job interview coming up? Do you want to sound more professional in your career? Is an uncomfortable conversation you need to have with someone looming over you? If you said “yes” to any of these questions, you need Talk Theory Coaching.
Talk Theory has the “hacks” to help you, the wrong and right words to choose — and trade secrets, too. Learn words that are often mispronounced, which ones make you sound smarter than you are, (and which do the opposite!) And, you’ll learn how general tone, pacing, cadence, and modulation affect how you communicate.
Like public speaking courses, Talk Theory Coaching addresses the anxiety of speaking to crowds, and prepares you for speeches. (They even have a speech writing service.)But unlike public speaking class, conversational skills are addressed, too, like those for social situations, business interactions, phone calls, customer service, interviews, difficult personal conversations and more.
Words matter. And using them well is essential. Let Judi Franco help you understand the mistakes you’re making in your verbal communication skills and how to fix them. She pinpoints and strengthens weaknesses you didn’t even know you had! (Oh, and learn the real secret to dealing with anxiety.)
Contact Talk Theory coaching for a free consult and tell Judi what your issues are. It’ll be a quick assessment — kind of a talk “check up.”She’ll customize an in-person or virtual coaching session for you, either one-on-one or with a group, where you’ll pinpoint and strengthen weaknesses you didn’t even know you had!
We’re all concerned with wellness today — physical, financial, spiritual and emotional. Considering that we humans are the only species who have the gift of communicating through talk, shouldn’t your word wellness be a priority too?
