SPEAC Framework™
SPEAC™ (Strategize, Prepare, Elevate, Articulate, Connect) is a comprehensive framework for effective communication and presentation skills. Each component of the SPEAC acronym represents a crucial step in the process of conveying ideas, building relationships and influencing others with clarity and impact.​
1
STRATEGIZE
The first step in the SPEAC framework is to strategize, which involves careful planning and consideration of the communication objective. This stage focuses on understanding the audience, defining key messages, and setting clear goals. By analyzing the situation and crafting a well-thought-out strategy, communicators can ensure that their message aligns with their purpose and resonates with the intended recipients.
2
PREPARE
Preparation is an essential aspect of effective communication. It involves gathering relevant information, conducting research, and organizing thoughts in a logical and coherent manner. During this stage, communicators identify supporting evidence, examples, or data to strengthen their arguments and ensure they are well-informed on the topic at hand. Adequate preparation builds confidence and allows for a smoother delivery of the message.
3
ELEVATE
The third step, elevate, emphasizes the importance of creating a compelling and engaging presentation. This stage involves employing various techniques to captivate the audience's attention and maintain their interest throughout the communication process. Using storytelling, visual aids, or persuasive language, communicators can elevate their message and make it more memorable and impactful.
4
ARTICULATE
Articulation is the act of expressing ideas clearly, concisely, and with confidence. This stage focuses on honing verbal and nonverbal communication skills to effectively convey the message. Communicators should strive for clarity, using simple and concise language, avoiding jargon or excessive technical terms. Additionally, nonverbal cues such as body language, gestures, and tone of voice play a significant role in articulating messages effectively.
5
CONNECT
The final step in the SPEAC framework is to connect with the audience on an emotional and intellectual level. Building rapport and establishing a connection enhances the overall communication experience and facilitates the understanding and acceptance of ideas. This stage emphasizes active listening, empathy, and responsiveness to the audience's needs, concerns, and feedback.

THE POWER OF CONNECTION
Public speaking is a crucial skill for any professional. Whether you're an entrepreneur, corporate leader, sales expert or consultant, being able to effectively communicate is important.
Public speaking allows you to connect with clients, partners, referral sources and employees, among others.
And that connection is the key to your success!
The problem is, most people would prefer death to public speaking (it's a statistical fact). Beyond that, public speaking is more than just getting up in front of people and talking — it requires strategy, skill and practice.
Whether you're an experienced public speaker who is looking to fine tune your skills, a novice interested in learning the art of public speaking, or somewhere in between - Shannon can help you connect with your audience so that you can accomplish your goals to motivate, educate, persuade and inspire!
