Courses for groups

The spoken word is one of the strongest ways of getting a message across. Effective public speaking does not always come naturally, but it can be taught and learned.

On the group courses we learn with and from each other. We examine the mechanisms of oral presentation and work on what creates effective communication [in different contexts]. You will learn to stay authentic and present even under pressure.

Objectives:

• A voice and a body language that underpins personal expression, professionalism and authenticity
• Integrity and presence in oral communication
• Tools for coping with nerves and building confidence
• A method to hold the attention of an audience
• Tools for adjusting voice volume and tempo to different spaces
• Using the power of the pause to connect with your audience.

I am happy to run the courses at your premises.

Courses of three to seven hours can be held for groups of 5–40 people

Lecture

Forget the rules – do what works

Are there non-verbal codes I need to know and master to get my message across?

Do I need to change my personality to have an impact?

How do I stay calm when I am on stage?

These are some of the questions to ask before you start preparing to give presentations or speeches.

In this lecture I will give my view on how to work with verbal communication in an effective way.

Through examples you will get the feeling of what is working and what is definitely not.

Media Training

I offer media training in collaboration with Rostra Communication. We run a day-long course combining intensive oral communication and media training. It is aimed at managers and spokespersons who need either an introduction to the craft of communication for the media or to refresh their skills.
