COMMUNICATION WORKSHOPS

Looking > Listening > Speaking

Looking

Communication between humans is both verbal and non-verbal. Our bodies express how we feel without us having to say a word. Body language is there for all to see if only we are attuned to observe it. This workshop focuses on ‘reading' other people's body language and raising awareness of your own.

Listening

Being a good listener may seem like a simple skill and yet it is a complex process. When we listen to someone, we are often giving non-verbal signs (called ‘active listening') that can powerfully influence the speaker. This workshop will focus on concentration, retaining information and feedback.

Speaking

This is complicated since it includes clarity of speech, content and how you sound. Often people tell me they don't like the way they sound, so that holds them back from speaking. Other people feel unconfident about the content of their speech or presentation and this influences how they sound (and how easy or difficult they are to understand). This workshop will focus on how the body affects voice production and will give tips on how to structure presentations and practice in giving them.
