Introduction
This programme is specifically aimed at people who speak ‘on stage’ in front of larger audiences. Suitable for anyone who presents at departmental/company meetings/conferences and feels they would benefit from some one to one ‘fine tuning’ of their public speaking skills.

Auditoriums and large conference rooms require speakers to adapt and enhance their usual manner of addressing groups. Working with our experienced presenters, who also have acting backgrounds, you will learn many tips on how to relax with and engage audiences of 100+.

Typical Objectives:

	Adapting to larger groups with ease
	Developing a wider range of public speaking skills
	Working with scripts to make them more ‘user friendly’
	Learning how the professional’s control their nerves and using these techniques
	Selecting, preparing and using appropriate aids
	Handling questions and ‘difficult’ members of the audience

Sample Programme
This programme is most effective when we work with delegate’s ‘live’ material. In this way we enhance both content and delivery, to ensure a polished performance.

We can also offer a rehearsal coaching service for more than one presenter. Attending run-throughs, we provide feedback and tips in situ.
