NEW WORKSHOP! "Acting Techniques For Business Professionals"

ANNOUNCING NEW 4 WEEK WORKSHOP

“Acting Techniques For Business Professionals”


Effective communication is not only about what you say, it’s about how you say it. 

80% of what people respond to is the non-verbal dimensions of how you’re communicating – posture, facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, inflection.

I often tell my workshop participants that they next need to take an acting class – even though I’ve never known of a class to recommend.

But now I do!

I’m teaming up with Stacy Edwards, an award-winning actor and acting coach, to present an intense 4 week workshop that will push your comfort zone (that’s a promise!) as you learn techniques to demonstrate the kind of confidence that’s needed when dealing with difficult colleagues and clients, when presenting new ideas and projects, or when leading a team through grueling deadlines.


You will become MORE:

·      Quick thinking on your feet
·      Accurate when reading non-verbal signals
·      At ease with people different from you
·      Strategic in creating the impression you want others to have of you
·      Aware of the emotions underlying stressful situations
·      Creative in managing difficult behavior
·      Confident when making a presentation
·      Non-verbally assertive
·      Relaxed, expressive and open as you go about your business


Because you’re already good at what you do, this workshop can help you break through to the next point of confidence so you can present more clearly the best of who you are at work and in your personal life.
