Public speaking - present with confidence (women only)
About this Event
Registration cost: £450 + VAT | Limited to 8 participants | Women only | 10% group booking discount (3+ppl)
Learn how to hone your personal presenting style, make the most of your speaking voice, and develop a toolkit of skills that will be with you for life in this intensive training.
The skill of communicating with clarity and authenticity to an audience has so much more to it than just the words we say. It’s said that communication is 55% nonverbal, 38% vocal, and 7% words only. In this workshop, we will work with the 93%: the voice and the body; the vocal and the non-verbal.
This highly interactive course is focused on presentation delivery rather than content. It helps each delegate gain deep insight into their presenting strengths and weaknesses, whilst providing guidance on reaching their full potential.

Testimonials
One of best public speaking courses I have attended so far. You walk out with useful practical tips even if you are an experienced public speaker. Julia is an absolute pleasure to work with and her masterclass is the cherry on the cake. You don't want to miss this one!

I attended the Presentation Skills Course hosted by Julia who was wonderful. I started the class unsure what to expect and left with a great network of women and a renewed confidence in my presentation skills.

This training course was different from the usual presentation courses I’ve done. The fact that Julia is a singer and makes her look at this topic from a different angle. It was amazing to see the impact she made on the presentation skills of each of us within a short period of time. And on top, she created a very relaxed and comfortable environment. Great course and would highly recommend it - even for experienced presenters.
