What Can You Expect From Sandra’s Training?
We believe a supportive, friendly and encouraging environment can go a long way. This course includes practical exercises and tutor-led discussions that allow delegates to voice their experiences, gain individual feedback and collaborate with other delegates.
You'll learn tips and techniques for using your whole body to increase your verbal impact. This course focuses on a number of elements that come into speaking with impact, including first impressions, structure and building confidence and spontaneity.
Sandra aims for every delegate to leave confidently and equipped with tools, skills, awareness and techniques to improve their communication skills, and life.
She uses theatre-based exercises to encourage you to come across with authority so that you can project your best self when speaking in public. Her sessions will usually involve looking at the characteristics of an effective presentation and how to structure a presentation with maximum impact and minimum effort. There will be a section on building confidence which can involve looking at overcoming nerves and will include relaxation, breathing and voice exercises.
