Conquer your struggle to communicate and see the significant positive impact it will have on your personal brand and profits.

This one-day interactive workshop will teach you the most sought after transferable leadership skill in business and life – the ability to communicate in a confident, concise and congruent way. You will learn how to confidently design, develop and deliver content that builds liking, trust and respect, so you can win the hearts, minds and wallets of any audience on any stage.

Once you combine your new messaging with the confidence to present to camera, you will become a powerful and persuasive communicator, increasing your leadership presence, personal branding, and marketing potential.

What will you gain?

Speaking well is not a born talent. It takes determination, dedication, discipline and direction. The workshop is fast-paced and practical application focused on “learn something, then do something”.

You will learn:

· The five simple mistakes speakers make and what you need to be doing instead.

· The five Cs, which you need to win any audience.

· A slick five part message model that will make your life easier and help you speak to the needs of your audience, so they feel like you understand the problems they are trying to solve.

· What is confirmation bias and cherry picking information, to ensure you keep your audience onside instead of viewing you as a potential enemy.

· What to do with your feet, hands and face when you’re speaking, as well as how physiology and mirror neurons affect your audience.

· The 12 Charismatic Leadership Tactics (CLT) that you can implement immediately to increase your leadership presence and perception by up to 60 percent.

· What is neuro-inclusive communication, so you discover the ‘goldilocks zone’ between neurodiverse and neurotypical language and delivery to help you speak to everyone in your audience.

· How to confidently deliver to camera.

The skills taught are transferable across a range of applications including public speaking, keynote speaking, podcast or video interviews, speaking on panels, meeting presentations, sales and marketing, consultations and meetings, delivering workshops, performance coaching, building rapport and much more.

Course structure

This one-day workshop runs from 8.30am to 4.30pm, and is for anyone wanting to improve on their public speaking, pitching and presenting skills. You will be taught some of the same skills that have helped people such as Emily Blythe, CEO of Pyper Vision and New Zealand Innovator of the year 2023; Stephen Pike, Sales Manager at Williams Corporation; and Lilia Tawara, speaker and bestselling author of ‘Daughter of Gloriavale: My life in a religious cult’ – all become successful communicators.

The course is broken into three sections and will help you with internal, external, in-person or to camera communications.

You will receive and implement developmental feedback, as well as examining your delivery style to uncover areas for improvement.

You will leave with a personally developed 60 second pitch, plus a 10-in-2 presentation, and a total of six presentations to camera for review.
