Overview

"Often in a debate it's the group that decides what the debate is about who win, not the group with the most to say" - Tony (Head Coach)

In this 4.5 hour Masterclass we will be exploring the strategy and framing behind individual arguments to have the largest impact with your audience. Additionally, we will build on developing individual arguments into creating broader cases that unify arguments with clear narratives to ensure that the key message of any position is reinforced throught your speeches.

Key Skills we will be covering:

  • Framing
  • structuring arguments
  • Building a case vs just a collection of arguments (narrative building)
  • Working with teams / leadership - Thought leadership

This workshop is for debaters and speakers of all skill ranges from first time attendees to to regular & experienced debaters.
