Masterclasses in Authentic Presence
- Are you communicating from a place of confidence and energy?
- Can you ‘hold the room’ and speak with authority?
- Are you coming across authentically, with maximum personal impact?
The Art of Being Heard is a masterclass in authentic presence. We will work with the fundamental toolkit of each person’s body, breath and voice to increase communicative power, gravitas and influence.
CGO is working in conjunction with the Authentic Artist Collective on the programme. This is being shared across the Scottish business sector by Culture and Business Scotland (formerly Arts & Business Scotland) as part of their new Marketplace programme.
What you say matters, how you say it matters more, and how it is heard by your audience matters most. The Art of Being Heard is a one-day personal impact and presentation skills workshop designed specifically for the business community, delivered in-person or online. The workshop offers straightforward, memorable techniques to help quell nerves and address physical tension.
Over the course of the day, we focus on five key areas.
● Improving personal impact in preparation for key business meetings and presentations to clients or colleagues
● Introduction to structuring a presentation, whether for a major key- note speech or a one-on-one meeting. How to make sense, show your passion and be remembered
● Build your confidence and your ability to read other people in a meeting or presentational setting. Improve your influence
● Learn to cultivate, and to spot in others, authentic presence
● Individual attention given to each participant’s specific needs and issues- there is no ‘one-size fits all’ model
We offer workshops open to individuals as well as company specific days. The Art of Being Heard is purposefully tailored to suit different teams and people at all levels – from a board of directors to sales teams or mid-level staff.
Do you aspire to take your workplace communication skills to a new level?
Do you want to deliver a keynote speech with confidence or deliver a key message to your business or client?
Do you need your team to gain stature and focus in meetings with colleagues and customers?
If so, this one day masterclass could be for you.
