The Art of Speaking

Speaking is the new leadership imperative, and the fastest way to grow your career, your business and truly make a difference. Speakership is the missing link between strategy and execution, the critical catalyst that inspires people to take a good idea and put it into action.

Matt Church is one of Australia’s most successful public speakers, awarded the 2014 Australian Speaker of the Year and the 2011 Australian Educator of the Year by Professional Speakers Australia. The American National Speakers Association has recognised him as one of the top 25 most influential people in the speaking profession globally. For the last decade he has helped launch the careers of some of the country's greatest public speakers - people like Dan Gregory, Anh Do, Lisa Messenger, Neen James, Jason Fox and many more.

This program is perfect for:

  • Ambitious business leaders

  • Professional speakers

  • Thought leaders

  • Preachers, and

  • Anyone who wants to create and deliver extraordinary presentations.

Matt's Speakership program is famous in the Australian speaking industry as the program to fast-track success as a speaker, and this three-day course in Sydney represents the one opportunity offered to attend this year.

The objective of the program is to shift your attention above the line. To get you thinking about creating conversations instead of presentations. It's built to help you deliver a compelling message in the most impactful and dynamic way possible. 

What you can expect to learn

The program has been refined over the years and now Matt offers it in three complementary parts. He runs them over three days in total. Matt's focus on what works and what gets you there in the fastest possible way sets his programs apart from anything else offered on the market.

Day 1: Delivery

Day one of the program is a study of best practice public speaking. Throughout the day you explore what it takes to deliver extraordinary, dynamic presentations that inspire audiences to take action. There are so many elements to being an effective presenter and 100‘s of techniques you need to learn and by the end of this day you will know the top 5 most effective skills. Obsessed with quick wins Matt has taken over 25 years of his experience speaking professionally and compressed the BEST ideas into these 5 critical skills. Great speakers pay attention to what’s going on in them and around them. Developing a third eye awareness of what it takes to rock the room as a public speaker is the goal of this first day.

Day 2: Design

The saying ‘think before you speak’ could never be truer than it is today. With audiences' time poor and information rich, it’s the job of the speaker to create messages that make sense, get to the point and engage people. A live meeting needs to deliver something special, speakers can not simply read slides or deliver information that people could find on the internet. The opportunity cost for the audience’s ‘time investment’ listening to you is huge; as a result you as the speaker need to craft great messages and deliver them brilliantly. Day two unpacks the systems and design thinking behind world class presentations. Matt will share his three time tested critical design frameworks for structuring short and long presentations.

Day 3: Implementation

Day three is the day we work on your stuff. By the end of the day you will have built and shaped your presentation and taken it to a whole new level. This final day is all about implementation and personalisation. It’s all about you and what you have to say. A day of live mentoring, message shaping and critical feedback from Matt. This day is one of the most valuable in the program. It takes what you have learnt from the previous two days and integrates the tips, strategies and frameworks into your world. This is simply one of the most exciting learning experiences available today and we know you will find it unique, practical and chock full of smart strategies and tactics for becoming a world class presenter.
