This innovative, interactive one-day workshop is for anyone who wants to develop their self-presentation and public speaking skills for use in work, business, and life in general. These sessions are popular with business people, coaches and trainers, teachers and all kinds of professional. Includes presenting to an audience, in a group or one-to-one.

We will focus practically on such issues as:

• being spontaneous and creative in your presentations
• connecting with your audience and being responsive to them
• using unexpected turns of event to your advantage
• becoming charismatic through being yourself - using your own individual and instinctive potential
• developing confidence, and overcoming nerves or fears
• being funny and entertaining in a natural and organic way
• using the universal principles of comedy employed by professional comedians
  
  Participants will have opportunities to develop their individual presentation style, and experiment with new possibilities using constructive group feedback and coaching from the facilitator. The central element will be developing your improvisational capabilities - the skill we all have to come up with great stuff on the spur of the moment - and then learning to incorporate this creative vitality when we're making a prepared presentation.

A questionnaire is sent to each participant prior to the workshop. This provides an opportunity to begin the learning process ahead of the session: suggesting you identify your strengths, weaknesses and aspects of presentation you would like to develop. This information will be used for detailed design of the workshop, and in providing one-to-one facilitation during the session.

A DVD of a previous roll-out of this workshop can be purchased for £10.
