Public speaking anxiety is a serious problem which can limit business success. It can significantly affect the performance of all people within a business hierarchy, whether junior, manager or director. This can impact not only on the success of individuals but also on the ability to generate new business for your organisation. There is, however, a simple solution which can be learnt relatively quickly. In this innovative workshop we utilise new developments within the empirical field of cognitive and behavioural science, as we work towards confident public speaking and presentation skills. The workshop will demonstrate how to use language and vocal dynamics with the audience in order to build rapport, inspire and motivate them. We will explore the dynamics of human attention and what people are really looking for in a presentation. Techniques in ensuring that your audience take away the essential message of the presentation will be learnt and practiced. There is opportunity for role play and the experience of giving an effective presentation. The fear in public speaking and doing presentations that hinders business success will be removed.
