Becoming a Strong Workshop Presenter - Recommended Resources

If you are interested in becoming a Compassion Fatigue trainer, but have limited experience as a public speaker, here are some resources I would recommend to help you get more comfortable doing presentations.

1) Consider purchasing my Ebooklet: Designing and Marketing a Compassion Fatigue Workshop in 10 Key Steps The ebooklet goes through each step of designing, delivering and marketing a workshop, with a particular focus on Compassion Fatigue training.

2) Visit Bill O'Hanlon's website Paid Public Speaker

This website includes the option to attend a Speaker’s boot camp. O'Hanlon also sells his ebook Becoming a paid speaker which is full of tips and ideas and suggestions from one of the foremost speaker in the field of psychology. I think it is a worthwhile investment for anyone who is fairly new to the public speaking world.

Bill recently added some online tutorials on the basics, such as the video "Tech Secrets for Speakers" which I had the opportunity to preview. In my opinion, if you are a real beginner, and have no tech experience whatsoever, I believe you will find these videos useful. They may be a bit basic for anyone who has been dealing with microphones, laptops and public speaking for a while.
