Presenting With Charisma
Two days
This training is different and effective because it combines techniques that professional actors use to keep their audiences enthralled, the secrets of effective storytelling and powerful tools that make you stand out in the business world.
With our experience of working with global companies throughout Europe and our background in theatre, we not only understand charisma – we can help you acquire it to make your speeches and presentations much more persuasive and inspiring. Through video recordings, exercises and detailed individual feedback, you’ll have enough practice to be able to apply your new skills in the workplace immediately. You’ll also learn how to craft the stories that will make your message vivid and memorable. Delivered by two trainers (including Ken), the training is individually designed to suit the specific needs of your organisation. Whatever stage you’re at, this course will help you step up to a higher level. You and your team can look forward to delivering dynamic presentations, projecting your authentic style with confidence, authority and charisma.
