In this 90 minute workshop, pick up invaluable strategies for overcoming fear of public speaking, develop your skills as a confident and engaging speaker, and create an unforgettable 90 second elevator pitch for your business (or yourself!).

The key to overcoming fear of public speaking is practise, so you’ll take part in lots of small speaking exercises to desensitise how you experience speaking in a group. You’ll learn body language and voice techniques that make you captivating as a speaker, and will help you build a strong rapport with your audience. The environment will be safe, informal and supportive as you build your confidence step by step.

As part of the workshop you will form a 90 second pitch that you can give anytime, anywhere, with the chance to get critical feedback so that you can hone it into something special.

You’ll experience a powerful positive visualisation exercise and learn how to use this technique at home whenever you have a big presentation or meeting coming up.

You’ll also take part in a goalsetting activity where you can set yourself challenges and goals around public speaking to ensure you continue to develop your presenting skills over the next 6 months.

In this workshop:

• Understand what causes a fight or flight response when you speak in public, and how to create thinking habits that prevent it from being activated

• Pick up body language and voice techniques to present with confidence, passion and gravitas

• Desensitise your response to speaking in groups as you take part in speaking exercises, building up your confidence slowly

• Learn a powerful positive visualisation technique to use at home

• Create and get feedback on an unforgettable 90 second elevator pitch on your business, or yourself, for the next time you bump into a key contact

• Complete a goal-setting worksheet where you set yourself SMART goals to continue your public speaking journey
