SPEAKING IS LIKE A MINI-PERFORMANCE

Speaking requires that not only the presentation itself be worked on – the acting skills- but the speaker’s instrument – the voice and body- as well.

Learning and Development is one of the most effective ways you can retain employees. You may have strengths in marketing, product awareness and even communication skills. But if you don’t know the special skills of trained actors, you don’t have the competitive edge you need. Your employees need constant training and upgrading to keep sharp and ahead of the competition.

Learn to communicate by developing your awareness of the client on levels you can only reach by mastering the fundamentals of acting:

• The ability to listen like an actor
• Learn to be available and empathetic like an actor
• Experience the power of being present, with all your attention on your client, like an actor

This is a very special workshop taught by the acclaimed acting coach BARBARA KITE
