Are your public speaking skills holding back your career? Do you see peers advancing more rapidly than you because they can perform better? Would you like to match their ability to communicate well but you lack confidence and the right skills including good body language, a strong voice and effective messaging?

Or are you at the start of your career and find it hard to get your voice heard in a room of senior leaders? You know being able to hold the attention of a group of people will be invaluable over the course of your career but you just don’t know where to start.

Maybe you want to be more persuasive in sales meetings and make your pitch compelling. Or you spend your life on video meetings but find your voice is drowned out by others and you want to be heard.

Perhaps you like presenting and want to do more of it but your voice sabotages you, becoming so tight it becomes hard to speak clearly. And you are worrying so much about your talking points you fail to build connection with your audience.

Maybe your PR team want you to talk to the press more often – and you can see colleagues who are frequently quoted have a higher profile − but you finding the prospect daunting. You want to know how to deliver impactful quotes and tell your story concisely before you pick up the phone to a journalist.

If you identify with any of these situations, this complimentary event is for you! On Wednesday, 22^nd January at 6pm in the Betsey Trotwood, the UK’s leading voice- and body-language coach, Sylvia Cohen, and I will teach you how to perform better. Come for a glass of wine and a 90-minute session.
