• Experience stage fright or lack presence in formal settings

This interactive workshop is designed to use practical demonstrations to show key public speaking

techniques to:

• Command attention and respect
•  Speak with confidence and authority

• Structure and organisation of ideas

The workshop will include The Speaking Formula framework, a framework designed to show participants how to reach audiences and tailor their content to ensure their message lands effectively and in essence, raise the bar on presentation skills!
