Presence & Play: Bringing Yourself and Your Ideas to Life When You Present

Experience a 2-hour interactive workshop designed to help professionals communicate ideas with greater clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

→ Featuring special guest Terry Hughes, presentation skills coach
Many professionals have strong ideas but struggle to express them clearly when presenting.
Nerves, pressure, or overthinking can make our thinking less clear and our communication less impactful.

This workshop introduces a different way to prepare for presentations.

Rather than focusing only on slides or delivery techniques, participants explore how presence, playful exploration, and meaningful reflection can help them reconnect with their ideas and communicate them more effectively.

Through a series of guided activities and shared reflection, participants experience how grounding themselves in presence and connecting with what truly matters can transform the way they express ideas.

The result is communication that feels more natural, authentic, and engaging, both for the speaker and the audience.

Most presentation training focuses on slides and delivery techniques.

This workshop focuses on the internal conditions that support confident communication.

By combining presence practices, creative exploration, and presentation coaching, participants discover how clarity, confidence, and authenticity naturally emerge when they are more connected to themselves and their ideas.

Participants will explore how to:

• feel more grounded and focused before presenting
• clarify ideas before communicating them
• express ideas in a clearer and more engaging way
• communicate with greater presence and authenticity
• feel more confident speaking in front of others

This workshop is ideal for professionals who regularly present ideas, including:

• UX designers and researchers
• product managers and innovators
• team leaders and managers
• consultants and entrepreneurs

Especially helpful for people who:

• feel nervous presenting
• struggle to explain complex ideas clearly
• want their presentations to be more engaging

Duration: 2 hours (6:00–8:00 pm). Please arrive 15 minutes early. Doors open at 5:45 pm.
