Opening Your Presence

Is the first impression you make the best impression you can make?

We all deliver presentations every day. Whether it's a formal presentation, like representing your company at a conference, or an informal one, like ordering a café latte from the barista, you are presenting yourself for others to see, hear, and hopefully, accept. In each setting, you have a sincere desire to be seen and heard.

With candor, grace and humor, Greta Muller taps into her extensive experience creating and delivering presentations to teach you how to tap into your greatest gifts and talents. This will enable you to channel the best parts of you into a presence that is personal, powerful and genuine.

Opening Your Presence is written for the nonprofessional speaker who can't afford to leave a bad impression.

When you open your presence, you learn to:

• Clear away your fears and misconceptions.
• Prepare for your encounter.
• Craft your message.
• Utilize the tools at your disposal.
• Present with confidence. Discover how to leverage who you are and what you want to accomplish with guidance from a trusted advisor and coach who works with Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, nonprofits, boutique agencies and individuals. Greta Muller has touched the professional lives of literally thousands of individuals with a desire to be seen and heard. And now it's your turn.
