You have to deliver a presentation to senior management, a prospective client or the public. The subject matter may be fascinating but it’s your communication skills that are going to make the message memorable, interesting, and compelling. So no pressure!

Today, in most business situations you are probably competing with people who have similar skills. To stand out from the crowd you need that special something. And that special something is the ability to communicate. Through good communication we can inspire, persuade, engage, sell, influence and manage; the possibilities are endless.

There are many aspects to becoming an effective speaker. You need a clear message that has a purpose and is appropriate for the audience. That message should be delivered in a compelling way using all of the tools that are available to us: vocal variety, body language, gauging our audience and listening. A key skill to becoming a good speaker is giving and receiving constructive feedback.

The best way to learn is through doing and this workshop is packed with practical exercise that will progressively build your speaking skills. All the exercises are enjoyable; some stem from the world of improvisation and are almost guaranteed to be hilarious.

In this relaxed, highly-supportive, risk-free environment you will find increased confidence, allowing you to incorporate powerful vocal and body language techniques into your communications. You will learn how to structure a speech and be given the opportunity to deliver it. Feedback is essential and in addition to receiving group feedback there will be opportunity for individual coaching. You will be given videos of your presentations which you can take away for subsequent viewing.
