How is the training put together?
Our Public Speaking Courses are typically help at your premises, tailored to your exact requirements, alternatively we have a number of Open Courses, please contact me for details. Recognising that no two companies or speakers are the same, we pride ourselves in being able to tailor courses direct to the needs of your organisation . Firstly, we'll conduct a detailed interview on what your objectives are, the delegates attending and what learning outcome you would like to achieve. Once this is complete, we'll suggest a delivery shedule, agenda and exercises to reflect your organisational needs.
We can also offer high definition video recording as part of the course , whilst no delegate likes the thought of being filmed, everyone benefits from the feedback and often the video highlights points good and bad that can be discussed as part of the feedback, or as a 1-1 session post training .
Each delegate is given a Public Speaking Course certificate at the end of the course for CPD purposes.
What about voice training?
We can all benefit from voice training, and if required, we can provide access to a highly qualified and acclaimed vocal coach, vocal coaching is suitable for business executives, TV presenters, politicians and media professionals.
What does a vocal coach help with?
Our voice is our calling card, vocal training can help develop soft voices, mumbles or soften accents, helping you deliver you message confidently with added clarity.
How is vocal coaching delivered?
Vocal coaching is normally delivered at home, or at your place of work on a 1-1 basis over a period of 1-10 weeks. Your vocal coach will develop a voice coaching plan after an initial assessment and expect you to rehearse your exercise daily for the full duration of the course.
