Description
• You’ve managed to avoid it for years - but now you’ve been called up.
• You’ve done it once or twice and thought - “Never Again!”
• But you can’t run any more. It’s time to get up on that stage and present.
What if you could change that?
What if when your heart starts racing from the fear of being exposed, your heart actually starts racing because you can’t wait to get up there and smash it out of the park?
In this three hour workshop you’ll learn:
1 - why does public speaking scare the shoes right off some people?
2 - the principles of GREAT presentation
3 - the three winning elements of a great speech
And yes, it’s a workshop, so by the end of this session, you WILL be making a presentation, and one that you’ll be proud of. You’ll have created it, written it and presented it in a way that will impress even your harshest critic - you.
I’ve worked with some of NZ’s most successful celebrities and speechmakers. I specialise in Human Communication - teaching you simple tricks and techniques that help you find your fire, use your fire and spread your fire.
If your goal is to face that fear, turn those nerves into energy and to really command a room, then this session is for you.
Register early, before you talk yourself out of it!
