Join renowned public speaking coach Esther Price for a hands-on, one-day workshop on November 20, 2024, where you’ll learn how to communicate with impact and influence.
This workshop will cover the anatomy of a great speech, audience engagement techniques, and the elements of polished delivery, including effective use of PowerPoint. It’s perfect for anyone in the spotlight who needs to master the art of public speaking and delivering a compelling message.
In a fun and supportive environment, participants will have the chance to take the stage and practice the skills and techniques they learn throughout the day.
About the Workshop
This hands-on immersive workshop offers a fresh perspective on crafting and delivering powerful messages from the podium.
We explore all the key elements needed to be comfortable on stage, then bring the theory to life with practical exercises and real-world examples. Participants will experience firsthand how to reshape both the design and delivery of their speeches.
While we can’t transform you into a TEDx speaker in a single day, we’ll definitely inspire you to invest in the time and practice it takes to become a confident speaker. You’ll leave with the motivation and the essential tools to begin your public speaking journey.
Preparation
Please bring along with you, a short work-related speech that you might realistically be asked to deliver in your current role. It can be as simple as a basic idea or concept—we will use the workshop to help you refine and develop it.
We encourage you to bring a laptop for creating brief examples in PowerPoint (though this is optional if PowerPoint isn’t a tool you typically use).
