Ask anyone at the top if they need advice, and it's more than likely that they already have their own "mentor", even a few mentors. Why is this so? Well only the utterly arrogant will feel that they cannot improve their current level of performance, in what even field they consider.
Therefore, most competent speakers within an organisation can benefit from a mentor, who has the depth of experience to assist them to excel! With public speaking, a mediocre performance is considered a failure, worse still if you cannot get your message accross, what do think will happen?
Lets say your audience is made up of city analysts and such like who can influence the share price. Or made up of shareholders?
These situations can make or break a presentation, speaker or even the company.
Therefore even competent speakers can be improved, and their technique refined. Public Speaking is in practice a self development process rather than an acquired skill. It's something to be worked on for life, as the audience itself becomes more "sophisticated" and public opinion changes upon a variety of issues.
For all those business people who care about how effectively they present their company, its products and services as well as themselves
