Introduction
Mastery of communication gets results. This workshop has proved it time and time again. If you can build a reputation as a strong communicator then you will be an invaluable asset to your company, especially in times of recession.
What distinguishes this intensive two-day workshop from others is that it is highly practical. It doesn’t just tell you what to do; it shows you how to do it, with lots of individual practice, coaching and feedback. Combining research from positive psychology, business theory and actor-training, the workshop takes you through a system of simple but powerful techniques to ensure that you have more impact in every situation. Not only will you project yourself with confidence and presence; you will be able to unlock your potential to influence meetings, interviews, presentations, phone calls, conference calls, negotiations and video conferences. You’ll see a marked difference in your performance and back at the office you’ll be confident enough to put it all into practice immediately.
