If so, you need to understand how to create content, structure your presentation, add interesting examples, and know how to maximize your rehearsal time.

Patricia Fripp and Darren LaCroix’s Two-day Get Coached to Speak Champ Camp

Who is this Coaching Camp designed for?

I wanted a Super Bowl quality coach and I was lucky to be introduced to Patricia Fripp. Her help in coaching and scripting was world class. With Patricia Fripp on your team, you can go places. ? Don Yaeger, Long-Time Associate Editor for Sports Illustrated magazine, Award-Winning Keynote Speaker, New York Times Best-Selling Author

Each class is limited to six Coachees.)
To maximize your investment, please come prepared. Your pre-work (listed below) can include knowing which one or two 7-8 minute segments of material you would like to present and be coached on.
As an Active Observer, you will learn the thought process of experienced coaches as they expertly dissect entirely different aspects of the presentations delivered. Observers do not play a passive role. As an Observer, you are guaranteed to learn dozens of ways to improve your own presentations.
Each class has unlimited seats for Observers.)
We recommend intermediate or advanced level for the Coachee experience. Many at the novice and beginner levels attend the first time as an Observer and return the second or third time to be coached.
It is impossible to list all the benefits from whichever role you choose in the Patricia Fripp and Darren LaCroix Two-day Get Coached to Speak Champ Camp. However, we promise that you will experience or learn from two-on-one personal coaching. When you leave, you will know how to:

Once you confirm your seat in the event, why not make your hotel and airline reservations? These are not included in your registration. If you are from out of town, we suggest you arrive the day before and, if possible, do not fly out before 8:00 pm on the concluding day. Attendees report when they travel the next day, they have the opportunity to reflect on their experience?or enjoy a Las Vegas show. Both are great options.
Your Coachee Pre-work
If you have your content scripted: in advance, please send to us for Patricia and Darren. Patricia especially focuses on your scripting and speech structure. If you get it to us early enough, Patricia may be able to give you scripting advice before you arrive. (Only send your final copy please.) If you do not have time to send it in for advance review, bring several copies with you. Make sure the file is on your computer. You will be editing it and can print out later versions at the hotel business center. Darren?s focus will be more on how you deliver your message. Together, they are an unbeatable combination.
Your Active Observer Pre-work
Although there is no formal pre-work, why not view one of your own presentations? Take notes on what you think you can improve or need help with. After you have pages of notes and dozens of ideas, view your presentation again as a speech coach.

This presentation was delivered at a much higher level.’ Since the Fripp training and coaching, my ability to craft my material, tell stories, and deliver a powerful message has improved ten-fold. Our entire organization is running in a different gear since our work together.?
