PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOW A VIRTUAL LEADERSHIP ACTION NETWORK SESSION

Public speaking is a skill set which needs to be nurtured and developed along with storytelling techniques. When combined they provide a powerful strategy which is guaranteed to have a positive impact on achieving communication that resonates. This virtual workshop will cover:

• Why story is still king

• What personal qualities to amplify

• Where TED/TEDx gets it right / wrong

• Which body language techniques resonate

• How to communicate without saying a word

This will be both a contextualising presentation plus a participatory element, applying the learning gained and exploring new ways of doing, failing and succeeding.
