Commanding Presence: Advanced Communication and Presentation Skills Workshop
Two of Commanding Presence's most transformational One-Day Workshop units are the FOCUS! Method and Charismatic Communication. In this special presentation, you will enjoy both!
The FOCUS! Method is a favourite among our clients as it provides a way for both introverts and extroverts to essentially “say less, and say it better”. It is a way to take complex thoughts and ideas and quickly and effectively deliver them in a way that is designed to be heard, remembered, and persuasive. Participants will get a chance to create their own Focus Method presentations using current topics or issues and practice delivering them to other participants.
The Charismatic Communication unit will help the participants to understand the behavioural cues of when your message is being received, when to slow down, and when you need to clarify your message. Participants will also learn how to speak effectively from notes and text while using a conversational style of speaking that will help to imprint their message. Participants will practice these techniques with partners and put them all together to deliver a short presentation.
