Presentation skills workshop:

If you feel nervous when having to speak in public then we have expert trainers from two very different backgrounds who can help you:- BBC journalists and seasoned stand-up comedians.

The sessions aim to prepare and support you in challenging communications situations whether that is presenting financial results, setting out an annual strategy, media interviews, workplace communications, or presenting at a public engagement.

The Journalistic Perspective: Irrespective of your target audience, our aim is to transform your performance, by giving equal weight to content and delivery. Emphasis on your natural style of delivery, language, imagery, voice and body language, as well as message development, will ensure you are empowered as the master storyteller you always dreamed of being.

Courses are tailored to suit each client. A maximum of four people ensures these sessions will transform individual performance.

Many clients prefer to work one-to-one and benefit from the individual attention, particularly, if they need to work on body language. We will help you set goals, plan, prepare and practice.

The Comic Perspective : Our comic facilitators will give you a unique insight on how to develop your presentation skills using the painfully tried and tested methods of stand-up comedy. The trainers are not only seasoned and well known comic writers and performers, but have also applied and refined their skills in the corporate world for over ten years. Key elements of their training include:-

Raising your status enabling you to make powerful presentations
Message clarification and delivery
Using comedy in your presentation
Being in the moment, timing and talking to an audience
Presenting with passion
Freeing the emotional muscle and finding the creative you.
Body language
Practical experience and feedback

A maximum of ten people per session.
