Please Join Us for Our
NSA WI Speaker's Lab
One of the most valuable services offered by NSA-WI is the “Speakers Development Lab.” All members from Past National Presidents and CPAE’s to new candidate members are welcome to attend. The “Lab” operates much like a Hollywood “Actors Studio” where speakers, facilitators, seminar leaders, those who sell products or services through public presentations, etc. can go to try out new material, revise current material, practice delivery techniques, etc.Our goal for the Speakers Lab is to take speakers, facilitators, teacher/leaders at their current level of skill, impact, fee level, etc., and help them move up to the next level. Both those speaking, and observers benefit from the Lab, and the net effect is to increase the skills and impact of each participant.
Your Benefits for Participating
- Speak: Give a portion of one of your speeches or facilitations and see how the other lab members react in terms of positive reinforcement of what works well, plus their suggestions for your continuous improvement. Presenters are encouraged to video record their presentations and feedback for in-depth study and refinement.
- Vicarious Observation: Observe the presentations; listen to the positive feedback and the constructive suggestions for others. Use this vicarious learning experience to evaluate yourself and plan improvements. Evaluating others and participating in audience feedback provides you a frame of reference for discovering how each element of your own speech contributes to or distracts from your desired impact.
What Do You Do After the Lab? You begin to seek out discerning peers and/or audience members and ask them to observe you and provide feedback on your performance.
Why Is This So Important?
Because good feedback is the core of any plan for successful growth!
