Public Speaking

PLATFORM SKILLS

Amplify your voice of authority on any stage

In today’s workplace strong platform skills are essential. You need to be able to perform, persuade and influence in a wide variety of settings – face to face, presentations, pitching for business, social media or even just having a one to one conversation. In terms of your personal standing all these communications can be threats or opportunities.  If you’re serious about your career and want to make an impact, get good at performing. The key is to find your authentic voice and to ensure that you are fully exploiting your natural abilities –  your posture, your voice and your breath.

Relaxation is the key to authority.  Lower status individuals show more tension and so shift and change position more frequently.  Dominant individuals can be characterised by economy of movement; whereas less dominant are known for effort”
