"Speak Like a Leader Experience”

This LIVE interactive program is for speakers, executives, influencers, leaders, and anyone who understands that the difference they can make starts with the quality of their communication.

John Bates has designed his programs using principles derived from neurobiology so your communication is as mighty as your ideas. This program is limited to a maximum of 8 participants.

We begin our 10 LIVE sessions on:

Thursday, September 9th, 2021 from 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Mountain time and they repeat at that same time weekly.

In the final session - which will be extended to 90 minutes, we invite you to present your well-chosen, well-crafted, and well delivered TED-like talk, to be recorded in Zoom.

This is a very special, transformative experience for everyone who participates.

You're on stage and people are breathless. They're leaning in and hanging on your every word. Your initial fear has turned to excitement and you're fully present in the moment. The air crackles with electricity as the audience embraces your ideas. And now, as you say "thank you," the audience leaps to their feet as one. The applause is deafening. You did it. You did the work and you have become the person this idea needed you to be. People are already lining up to talk to you. Congratulations!

To deliver a TED-like talk demands something of you. And, to do it the way it is meant to be done turns out to be one of the best leadership and life exercises that you could ever do.

Over the last decade, as one of the most prolific TED-format coaches in the world, I have developed my own take on the TED-like talk format and I have come to realize that to succeed with the 18-minute - or less, free form, TED-talk format demands a very special blend of characteristics. To create a TED-like talk that truly works, and which is done the way it is meant to be done, requires you to be:

• Succinct - A TED-like talk is 18 minutes or less! So, your talk needs to be well crafted and rhetorically sharp. You’ll need a technical understanding of narrative flow, language, rhetoric, communication, and emotional connection to really land it.
• Vulnerable - You can’t just share how awesome you are. To truly deliver you must have faced, and faced down, your demons and acknowledge the role they have played in honing you and your ideas.
• Personal - Your message, your leadership, and your contribution is inextricably tied to your own journey and mission. That requires you to genuinely know and embrace your origin story, your journey, and your personal connection to all of this.
• Authentic - Your talk must be fully aligned with your values, your principles and be delivered in your own personal style. You’ll need to dig deep into who you are, what you stand for, and what matters to you. Even if you already know, this will require something of you.
• Ultra-CLEAR - Finally, to succeed, you must be focused and unequivocal. You will have to wrestle with yourself and utterly clarify your "one idea worth spreading." What changes do you want to affect and why is that so important to you?

It’s an amazing journey, and very worthwhile. You will need well-chosen, well-crafted, and well-delivered stories which flesh out your talk and illuminate your vision. Taken all together, this presents a singularly useful opportunity to create a path-defining speech, and at the same time, it demands a personal transformation in order to become the leader that the talk needs you to be.

This is one of the most incredible, powerful, and transformative journeys you could take, as a leader, executive, influencer, and anyone who is out to make a real difference in the world and who understands that the quality of their leadership is directly proportional to the quality of their communication.

When you invest in the course we will invest in you and you will be invited into a community of other leaders who are committed to transforming the World.
