Picture yourself at a meeting: you are making a point you consider valid but no-one seems to hear you. You repeat the point and again, no reaction. Thirty minutes later, someone else makes ‘your’ point and everyone is totally alert and on board. Or how about the feedback you gave that seemed to fall on deaf ears? Whether you need to support, challenge or influence others you’ll need to be heard but with only 7% of your communication being verbal, we need to pay attention to the other 93%.

This fun and interactive workshop will give you some invaluable skills to help discover practical tips to help you grab and maintain the attention of others, enhancing your ability to persuade and influence.

Pick up tips to:
• Strengthen your self-belief and motivation
• Create more presence
• Feel more confident
• Increase your sense of control and influence
• Be remembered – for the right reasons!

Combining theatre, psychology and business skills, you’ll experience new ways to:
• Increase your awareness of the first impressions you give to others
• Instantly access a psychological state to create the right impression for the situation
• Enhance your use of voice and gesture to communicate with impact
• Maximise your verbal impact with language that conveys the point to hearing ears
• Discover techniques to redirect and steer conversations
