About the Workshop:
Goals and Learning Objectives:
The overall goal of this workshop was to share expertise and advice on public speaking and empower participants to try a different approach and improve their confidence and impact in this arena.
Event Description: The Truth About Public Speaking – sometimes the truth hurts!
When we want to influence our clients and colleagues, and really make an impact, face-to-face communication is key. But in many scenarios it can be difficult to make the mind- to-mouth connection, to say what we planned to say, to express ourselves the way we want to. And what is the ultimate test for our powers of clear and confident communication? When we stand alone with a host of expectant eyes looking at us.
Presentations! What many of us fail to realise is – a lot of what makes public speaking so hard is really created in our own heads! We need to develop a different mindset and stop holding ourselves back. What’s more…if we can master this when we are in the spotlight we can also begin to use the same approach in all those other tricky communication situations too – appraisals, town halls, networking, challenging meetings… the list goes on.
In this lively morning workshop, participants explored and uncovered myths and misconceptions about the art of giving an effective presentation. Participants learned:
• the science behind performance nerves
• simple steps to physically and mentally prepare before presenting
• what it takes to influence your audience
• how to connect and keep them listening
• how to keep your energy up and let your story flow.
“We want to give you control over how your message lands and how you are perceived - even when the going gets tough and your nerves get going"
