NY Smarts for Professionals

Your career is based on a solid set of skills, and these skills can take you far. But unless you have the communication skills to effectively communicate, collaborate, and convince others, you will not rise into leadership.

Fortunately, communication skills are not hard to acquire. All it takes is attention and some motivation.

NY Smarts offers 1-on-1 coaching and training to help professionals like you develop the communication skills they need to advance in their careers.

Speaking Smarts

You can be an expert in your field and still find it hard to share your expertise with others. This is because "presentation" calls for a different kind of expertise. Presenting doesn't simply mean knowing what you're talking about, but also entails understanding, engaging, and retaining your audience. Work with a NY Smarts coach to develop the public speaking skills you need to communicate your value and make an impression, both for full speeches and ad-hoc participation in meetings.

  • Planning and developing different messages for different audiences
  • When to elaborate and when to cut
  • The value of story-telling
  • Key elements of public speaking - presence, voice, movement, eye contact, gesture
  • Producing and using visual aids
  • Practice and memorization
