Signature public speaking Workshop
Have you ever wanted to be on stage, but feel uncomfortable in front of many people? Or are you already a speaker and would like to improve your stage presence? Maybe you have some expertise you want to share and want to learn how to get started. Maybe you are thinking about or have already started on creating your “brand”. Or you’re looking to further establish yourself in the industry. Then this workshop is for you! During this full-day event, we will dive deep into techniques for conceiving, constructing and delivering a presentation. There are two parts to this workshop, which can be the booked as a whole or individually.
Part 1: Building presentations
If you've got knowledge to share but don't know where to start, this is the place. We'll cover everything from choosing your topic and writing an abstract to crafting a compelling narrative and slide deck.
You'll walk away with tangible tools, fresh ideas, and feedback from the group.
