SPEAKING WITH CONFIDENCE

Do you want to talk more effectively and feel more confident when you give talks and presentations?

This workshop will provide you with opportunities to take time to think about public speaking and to try out some new skills and strategies working with others in a small supportive group. Our objectives will be:

• to explore what can reduce our effectiveness as speakers
• to learn how to connect with an audience
• to gain confidence speaking comfortably and in our own styles in front of a group
• to explore strategies for handling nerves
• to improve the power of our voices and learn about voice care
• to plan individual goals for the future
• to enjoy ourselves

Lunch, teas and coffees will be provided. The cost of the workshop will be £55.00 per person which includes a donation towards FORCE Cancer Charity on behalf of Local Women 4 Women.
