YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y – December 10, 2009 -- Matthew Cossolotto (aka The Empowerment Pro) announced that he recently conducted two of his personal empowerment workshops for a company based in New Hampshire. One of the workshops is titled "Harness Your HabitForce! How to Master the Habits of SUCCESS and Reach your Peak Personal Potential." The second workshop is called "Pump Up Your Podium Power! How to Unleash Your Authentic Podium Power and Speak Your Way To The Peak."
Success Is An Inside Job!
Both programs are built on the same underlying personal empowerment concept: Success is an inside job! With this fundamental insight in mind, Matthew has created a series of "P.E.P. Talks" programs for a wide variety of audiences. In the coming year, Cossolotto plans to put a major emphasis on marketing his P.E.P. Talks programs to two main groups: P.E.P. Talks for Students and P.E.P. Talks for Organizations. The P.E.P. acronym stands for "Personal Empowerment to the People" and covers Cossolotto's HabitForce! and Podium Power! speaking programs.
Harness Your HabitForce!
These keynotes and workshops are specifically designed for people who want to avoid or banish self-defeating FAILURE Traps and get on the SUCCESS Track. Built around two seven-letter acronyms – FAILURE and SUCCESS – Matthew's presentations provide an easily remembered structure that magnifies their lasting power to transform behavior and produce positive results. Participants learn how to follow a three-step process – Recognize, Reject and Replace – to reprogram their HabitForce – which Matthew calls your personal operating system – so it works for you, not against you. This enables participants to overcome self-defeating habits and mindsets that hold people back from achieving their full potential.
In his inspirational and transformational HabitForce-related keynotes and workshops, Matthew reveals how you can:
· Employ the Six Axioms of Personal Empowerment to achieve your goals and reach your potential
· Replace disempowering FAILURE habits with their SUCCESS counterparts
· Reject finger-pointing and take responsibility for your life
· Stop undermining yourself with negative self-talk
· Use positive affirmations to reinforce SUCCESS habits
Pump Up Your Podium Power!
Speaking effectively to audiences is a widely recognized leadership and success skill. And yet many people — even those in leadership positions — often feel uncomfortable on the podium, hampered by some degree of anxiety, trepidation, or outright fear. Matthew is on a one-man mission to banish the fear of speaking to audiences and experience the "Joy of Speaking."
If you want to make the shift "from stage fright to stage delight" … or if you simply want to become much more comfortable, confident and effective speaker, Matthew's Podium Power! programs were designed with your needs in mind.
Among other things, keynote and workshop participants learn about:
· An Audience of One and Matthew's Top-Two List
· The Five Mindset Shifts for Authentic Speaking
· The Power of S.P.E.E.C.H.: The Six-Point Checklist for Powerful Presentations
· The Secrets of Whole-Brain Speaking
· The Wizard of Oz Formula
