Open Dawes Training is a public speaking, presentation and communication skills coaching company, with the key motivation of the company being to help people open doors that they may not even know exist yet, with increased confidence, willingness, and skills to present and speak in front of/with others. The podcast is taken from the live weekly "Opened Dawes" Live video show, where founder Chris Dawes dives into the key areas that make the difference with "public speaking", whether that is for those who are too nervous to do it or those who want to "up their game", whether that is for presentations, presence and participation in meetings, delivery of training, sales pitches, demonstrations, or even just communication with others in the best possible way. Chris Dawes: "My key ethos when I formed the business is that we are not, and should not be trying to create the mythical blueprint of the "perfect presenter", but unlocking each person's own personality, growing their confidence, helping them to be in control, organised, and of a quality that will make them become asked to do it more often, and no hesitation in their acceptance to do so. Apparently, public speaking is a soft skill, but it is a soft skill that gives your core skills a voice! Everyone owes it to themselves, and it is priceless to all of us that get to listen to them share their knowledge, experiences, passions, enthusiasm, and opinions. It gets them, their organisation, and their product/service recognised and appreciated, and helps us to grow and become more empowered from what they have to share."

This is a prime example of how a New Year doesn't always call for a NEW you, but a rebirth of the ‘YOU' that has been hidden away!

The stream is designed to be interactive, with comments/questions able to be shown and attributed on screen.This week's show delves into the effect of changing our mentality from dictating our information/message to others, to sharing our knowledge, experiences, and skills for people to choose whether to absorb and grow from.We all grew from hearing others at some point in our lives (and still do), and we have probably all switched off when someone dictated their information and spoke AT us. But not only does it influence how your audience receives your information, but also on how you feel about presenting it. Relieve the pressure on yourself by just sharing your knowledge and information as an option for them and feel the difference when you realise that they are there to hear this, not to judge you!

The stream is designed to be interactive, with comments/questions able to be shown and attributed on screen.This week's show looks at something that is not just a realisation and mindset for the start, but ongoing and something to remind ourselves constantly. We look at how the feelings from adrenaline can either stop you in your tracks or be embraced and enable you to kick yourself on to heights you never thought possible! That explosion inside that can make you punch the air and roar out loud!Whilst the discussion will of course include listening and speaking (in a ratio many forget), the title two “sides” in this show are actually EMOTION and LOGIC. Tune in to see why they are so important, what each of them achieves, and how you can make sure of their presence in your sales communications.This show can be watched live (and previous shows recorded) from the following locations:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/OpenDawesTraining/liveYouTube:www.youtube.com/channel/UCnwlPiWylgEDLrwemI8ZZjw (or search YouTube for Open Dawes Training and click subscribe to be notified)Thanks to:www.opendawestraining.co.ukwww.chrisdawescomms.co.ukwww.opendawestraining.co.uk/connect

Much to our marketing experts' disgust, we have found that not only is it a skill and developmental benefit that is industry, company size, and job role agnostic, but it applies to people for plenty of reasons others than presenting, and we will delve into those areas and how it has benefited people even more than they may have realised.Whilst the discussion will of course include listening and speaking (in a ratio many forget), the title two “sides” in this show are actually EMOTION and LOGIC.

But we can be like swans, looking serene on the surface whilst paddling furiously under the water. There is also a point when you must stop trying to resolve and making the best of the situation. We look at the best ways to stay calm and carry on.

The stream is designed to be interactive, with comments/questions able to be shown and attributed on screen.This week's show delves into something that has become much more vital over the last year or so! Communicating via and presenting to a camera, especially a webcam.Whilst workplaces may be returning to use, there is going to be a degree of home-working remaining, and a reduction in travel to face-to-face meetings, presentations, and training. Webinars have grown in popularity too, but it is not a natural thing for many of us to speak to a black hole in the camera's lens! So how do we cope with the challenges, and how do we still make it fully engaging? This week we touch the surface of that area of training that we provide to leave you with some thoughts and techniques to make the most out of it.____________This show can be watched live (and previous shows recorded) from the following locations:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/OpenDawesTraining/liveYouTube:www.youtube.com/channel/UCnwlPiWylgEDLrwemI8ZZjw (or search YouTube for Open Dawes Training and click subscribe to be notified)Thanks to:www.opendawestraining.co.ukwww.chrisdawescomms.co.ukwww.opendawestraining.co.uk/connect

The stream is designed to be interactive, with comments/questions able to be shown and attributed on screen.This week's show looks at a habit that is priceless to form because it will impact your nerves, your delivery, your recall, your flow, and dramatically improve the impact and absorption of your information from those you are sharing it with!Whether the nerves make us speak too quickly, or we get nervous because speaking too quickly increases the chance we will forget and/or make mistakes when presenting, it is probably the hottest topic we cover in our training because of the ratio of people who it applies to. Working on it will impact so many things that I would say that it is the number tip from observations and personal experience and something that needs to be considered ongoing and even by many seasoned speakers. ____________This show can be watched live (and previous shows recorded) from the following locations:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/OpenDawesTraining/liveYouTube:www.youtube.com/channel/UCnwlPiWylgEDLrwemI8ZZjw (or search YouTube for Open Dawes Training and click subscribe to be notified)Thanks to:www.opendawestraining.co.ukwww.chrisdawescomms.co.ukwww.opendawestraining.co.uk/connect

It may seem like a throw away statement, but by “having a conversation” with your audiences/meeting participants rather than falling into the rigid presenter/reporter mindset and method will have huge benefits for both you and those listening to you. The discussion includes how tone, emotions, attitude, inflections, etc. are all affected by this switch.____________This show can be watched live (and previous shows recorded) from the following locations:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/OpenDawesTraining/liveYouTube:www.youtube.com/channel/UCnwlPiWylgEDLrwemI8ZZjw (or search YouTube for Open Dawes Training and click subscribe to be notified)Thanks to:www.opendawestraining.co.ukwww.chrisdawescomms.co.ukwww.opendawestraining.co.uk/connect

To that end, we will also look around the Open Dawes Training portal and how you get to work through the training, engage in person (not just on video/audio lessons), and return as required to the training material over the 12-month access period to take yourself on this journey from one stage to the next without beating yourself up about it.____________This show can be watched live (and previous shows recorded) from the following locations:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/OpenDawesTraining/liveYouTube:www.youtube.com/channel/UCnwlPiWylgEDLrwemI8ZZjw (or search YouTube for Open Dawes Training and click subscribe to be notified)Thanks to:www.opendawestraining.co.ukwww.chrisdawescomms.co.ukwww.opendawestraining.co.uk/connect
