About this workshop series

Public speaking is the most common #1 phobia in today's society, and at the same time, our abilities to strongly represent ourselves are becoming more and more of a priority. Whether we are job interviewing, pitching our business, actively networking, or needing to lead a presentation in a boardroom or on a massive stage, confidence, clarity, and communication skills need to hit the mark.

In this fun and interactive two day bootcamp, you will learn how to bring out the best of yourself. Through a series of exercises using drama techniques, participants will learn about how to use their voice and body more effectively in front of an audience. There will be individual feedback throughout the day and an opportunity to build on the feedback.

The first day will focus on vocal theory and exercises, as well as techniques to manage nerves. It will consist of a number of group and individual improv exercises. The afternoon will focus on developing effective content and putting together and performing a short talk, following which the participants will receive individual feedback.

The second day will cover further vocal theory as well as body language on stage. Following further exercises designed to improv your confidence, the day will finish with presenting you talks again.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will have actionable strategies for leveraging strengths and addressing challenge areas when delivering presentations, as well as exercises to help tackle nerves.
