April 2018 Chapter Meeting
When: 4/19/2018
"The Coach as Speaker: How to Create A Masterful Speaking Presence," by Denise Hedges
The speaker for our ICF-Charlotte chapter meeting on April 19 is Denise Hedges, PCC, a Coach U faculty member, trainer, and speaker who 
specializes in helping coaching build their practices.
"Speaking to groups is the No. 1 way to build a coaching practice, but only if who you're being in front of the room is as present, authentic, and sincere as it is when you're interacting with clients," Denise says.
Denise advocates applying the same core competencies to speaking as we do to our coaching. She'll talk about how to create a safe and supportive environment in our meeting rooms that honors our audience's agenda.
"When you're open and flexible in the moment, you create a dynamic synergy with your audience," Denise says.
In this highly interactive and thought-provoking session, participants will learn:
- How to manifest a presence that's warm and genuine while being profoundly audience-focused and intensely purposeful.
- How the message you send goes beyond the words you speak.
- What goes into creating a compelling, interactive presentation that evokes insight and encourages people to expand their thinking.
- How to provide masterful coaching as you engage audience members.
- How to make an offer from the stage that speaks to the needs of your audience members and lands like an opportunity for further exploration and growth . . . and how to stay unattached as you do it.
