Time:     7 am networking. 7:30-8:30 am Spark Session
Cost:    FREE for our fabulous members

A successful business person knows it takes skill, awareness, and certain knowledge to state your case, present your arguments, and ultimately gauge and adjust to your client’s reactions. What you say, when and how you say it, and a myriad of other options are available to you.
Why bother?
Because your bottom line, your profit margin, and your potential and continued business relationships depend on it!
Are your chosen words adequate? Is your body language belying your verbal message? Can you read whether your intent is hitting its mark?
Is your tone of voice appropriate? Can you manipulate your vocal intensity to suit your purposes? Are you using proximity to your advantage?
Verbal Skills for Business is an experiential workshop designed to increase awareness, discover existing strengths, and provide opportunities to experiment with the manner in which you express yourself and represent your company.

Bio: Rosemarie Barnes
Rosemarie is an inspirational speaker, a presentation and vocal coach, a certified teacher, a classically trained singer, choir and band director, a writer, and finally, an entrepreneur (and she has the pieces of paper to prove she has been educated in all of it). Her company, Confident Stages, offers her as a speaker and teacher, and provides classes for improving self-confidence using theatre games and techniques as the learning conduit. In her role as a presentation coach, Rosemarie is uniquely qualified to help others be the best speakers they can be because she’s a really good teacher, because of her own training and experience as a speaker, and her deep seated objection to the overuse and abuse of power point in the speaking arena. She has performed in theatres, lecture halls, boardrooms, classrooms, at conferences, and in the shower.
