Hello ,
We hear it from our clients all the time, "What is the most important thing that I can do to improve my communication skills?" There are many, but if we had to choose just one, it would probably be to share and show your natural passion. Be genuine. Be authentic. Be passionate. If you are able to do that, it will have the biggest, most positive impact on how an audience perceives your communication skills.
In fact, if we at Ty Boyd could enforce one public speaking rule it would be: Never speak about anything with which you have no passion. You may have the world's most important message, but if you deliver it without energy, without passion, it often falls on deaf ears.
Valentine's Day is right around the corner - the perfect time to think about passion and how important it is to let those around you feel your passion, your energy and your enthusiasm.
Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc., once told his employees, "Apple, at the core, it's core value, is that we believe that people with passion can change the world for the better." Steve Jobs was a big believer in taking time to figure out what you love to do and then to do it passionately.

What's New?

|  A Passionate Presentation
How can you best serve an audience? Inspire them with passion. Unlike
other speaking skills, passion is not a cosmetic skill that can be
polished, this one ne eds to come from within you. Passion is the unleashing of your genuine excitement for th e message and for the audience.
It's not about impressing people with your communication skills , it's about providing a meaningful message that benefits the audience and inspires the m to act. Effective speaking skills benefit every
speaker, but they should ultimately serve the audience. Read more about passion...

Invest in Your Employees
Companies who view workshops and seminars as a luxury and not as a competitive and strategic necessity are missing the boat. The question is not, "what if we train our employees and they leave the company?" the question is, "what if we don't develop our employees and they stay?" Career development has always been important, but in today's business climate where salaries are frozen and bonuses slashed, employees are looking for a place to work that fosters personal growth. Career development and training has become as important as the compensation package.

Ben Does Life. Passionately.
Ben Davis embodies passion. In January 2009, Ben started running, started a blog to document his success, and as a result he started living. To date he has lost 120 pounds. Ben's passion is not something he learned, it's something he ignited and wanted to share. That's why we at Ty Boyd Executive Communications & Coaching get so emotional about learning presentation skills: it's not about packing your speaking toolbox with practical skills, it's about self-empowerment. Once you have the passion and the skills to share it, you are able to communicate with an audience at a whole new level.
