PROFESSIONAL PATHWAY – PILLAR 4: PUBLIC SPEAKING & POWER PRESENCE

AGENT CONSULT SCRIPT

“Own the Room—Or Someone Else Will”

INTRO

Every room is a test. Whether it’s a team huddle, a client meeting, a Zoom, or a stage—people are deciding in the first 30 seconds if they trust you, follow you, or forget you.

This isn’t about being loud or flashy. It’s about presence.

Power presence means you hold attention, speak with structure, and people move when you talk.

Let me show you 3 shifts that will help you take control of the room—without changing who you are.

LISTEN FOR:

• “I’m confident one-on-one, but bigger settings throw me off.”
• “I lose structure when I’m speaking under pressure.”
• “I want to sound more powerful—less ‘nice.’”

ASK:

• How do you feel when all eyes are on you?
• Do you have a structured way to deliver your message—or are you winging it?
• When you present—do people act on it, or just nod?

VALUE POINT 1: “Confidence Isn’t Volume—It’s Structure and Control”

Stat:

Structured communicators are 68% more persuasive and 40% more trusted than those who improvise. (Forbes)

How to explain it:

“Confidence isn’t about how loud you are—it’s about how clearly you deliver the point. People don’t follow scattered messages. They follow structure and direction.”

Example:

One rep kept losing her team’s attention. We taught her to simplify with a formula:

• One clear hook
• Two main points
• One powerful close

That shift gave her control. The team started listening—and executing.

What the client can do right now:

• Write out a 60-second version of your next message.
• Break it into 3 parts: hook, 2 points, close.
• Practice saying it out loud, no notes.

Agent asks: “When you speak to a group—do people follow your direction, or do you lose them halfway through?”

VALUE POINT 2: “Presence Is Felt Before a Word Is Spoken”

Stat:

People form a first impression in under 1/10th of a second—based on posture, stillness, and eye contact. (Princeton Study)

How to explain it:

“If you fidget, slouch, or rush—you already look unsure. Presence means stillness. Composure. Energy that makes people stop and watch.”

Example:

One manager kept getting interrupted and overlooked. We told her to stop speaking until she had full eye contact.

She stood up. Slowed down. And stopped apologizing with her body.

The room adjusted. Respect followed.

What the client can do right now:

• Record yourself delivering a short message.
• Observe your posture, pace, eye contact.
• Re-record with one physical shift to increase presence.

Agent asks: “When you stand up to speak—do you look like someone they should listen to?”

VALUE POINT 3: “People Follow Certainty—Not Noise”

Stat:

Speakers who communicate with calm, direct certainty are rated 3x more trustworthy in high-stakes settings. (Wharton)

How to explain it:

“It’s not about being louder. It’s about being clearer and calmer than everyone else in the room. If you speak from pressure, people pull back. If you speak with precision, people move forward.”

Example:

One director talked too much when presenting. She was trying to sound smart—but it came off unsure.

We taught her to pause after each sentence and cut her message in half.

Less noise. More power. That week, she closed the biggest deal of her career.

What the client can do right now:

• Pick one upcoming high-stakes conversation.
• Practice delivering your message in short, clear lines with space between.
• Cut filler words, end each point with a pause.

Agent asks: “In your last high-pressure moment—did you speak with certainty or speed?”

LOCK-IN QUESTION

Which of those shifts—structure, presence, or certainty—would immediately raise your authority when you speak?

That’s what we build inside CP4.

CP4 TRANSITION

This isn’t about talking more—it’s about making sure every word lands with power.

CP4 helps you:

• Lead the room with presence, posture, and precision
• Deliver structured messages that stick
• Stay in control under pressure, even when everyone’s watching

Let me show you exactly how we’d build your speaking system and sharpen your delivery fast.

OBJECTION HANDLING

• “I’m just not a public speaker.”
  That’s fine—you’re not here to perform. You’re here to lead. And leadership is about being clear, calm, and credible—regardless of the room size.
• “I don’t want to sound fake or robotic.”
  You won’t. The structure we teach isn’t about memorizing—it’s about removing the noise so the real message comes through stronger.
• “I’m more confident one-on-one—I don’t need this.”
  That’s exactly the problem. Growth puts you in bigger rooms. If you can’t own them, you’ll keep getting passed over by people who can.
