You've probably
come to this website because I, Steve Hughes,
mentioned it during one of my presentations, it was on my website
or in a newsletter or email you got from me, or I chased you
down the street yelling about the cool new interactive training
site I'm creating (in which case, I apologize - I'm working
to get that under control!).
If you know what this site is about and would like to get an invitation
to join when it officially launches, please enter your name and email

What
is The 5 Minute Speaker?
5MinuteSpeaker.com
is a multimedia, interactive training site dedicated to teaching
busy professionals how to create and deliver world-class presentations.
It’s no secret that public speaking is one of the key ingredients to
success.
Unfortunately, when given a chance between giving a presentation and
having a
root canal, most people would choose the root canal.
I'm creating 5MinuteSpeaker.com based on my philosophy that effective
speakers
are made - not born. To help you become a more confident,
effective speaker I'm
creating fresh, fun, original content that will teach you how to create
and deliver
“Standing-O worthy” presentations.
5MinuteSpeaker.com will consist of:
• Course topics
including:
Mastering
PowerPoint
Overcoming
Nervousness and Stage Fright
Effective Use of
Visual Aids
How to engage
your audience
How to Write a
Speech in 30 Minutes or Less
Recovering When
Your Mind Goes Blank During a Presentation
How and When to
Incorporating Humor into Your Presentations
• Lessons
delivered in a variety of multimedia formats – video, audio
and
text versions of courses will be available so you can choose the format
that you
prefer (this is all original content - not repackaged stuff pulled out
of the archives)
• Personalized
speech critiques – send in a
video of one of your presentations
and I'll share it with the group along with a critique of what you’re
doing well and
areas that may need improvement
• A message board – ask
questions, brainstorm ideas, network, and interact
with Steve, as well as other members of the community
• Interviews with
public speaking and presentation skills experts
• Speech templates to help you
easily kick off the process of writing an effective
speech
• A comprehensive
listing of resources that will help
you find the perfect
photo, quote, visual aid, etc. for your presentation
• Continuously
updated course material that brings you
the latest tips,
techniques, ideas, resources, etc.
• And a lot more
based on the needs and feedback of our members.
We are expecting
to have the initial training material created and ready to go in Fall ’09. To receive a special invitation to become a
