SPEAKING IN PUBLIC

Exercises from the theatre mindset …

During this workshop the trainer throws, as your personal director, his theatre experience in the battle to awaken the speaker in you. You will work all day with concrete techniques, used by actors in theatre.

Little by little you will acquire the insight and skills to purposefully play and control your audience. You become a thinking speaker, where your authenticity and personality remain the most important criteria.

Because this is perhaps the best news: you can learnit!

What can you expect?

Dag 1 - the basic techniques
You will practice on concrete, manageable techniques. The individual coaching and feedback guarantee an improvement of your speaker's skills:

Paying attention to body language
Working on eye contact
Playing with silence and rhythm
Building in surprise effects
Adapting tone and volume
Choosing an original approach

Day 2 - communicate your intentions
You will learn to combine the techniques of day 1, so that you eventually fill in your role differently as a public speaker.
You will no longer speak in words, but in clear ideas and intentions that you share with your audience, by:

Learning to control your Subtext (both spoken and unspoken messages)

Furthermore, you learn to control the following, more external aspects:

Powerpoint
How to handle difficult questions

For whom?

Now take the time for this in-depth 2-day workshop if you want to ... speak during major events or corporate presentations, training, reporting to a Management Committee or score with customers presentations …
