Stepping Up With Confidence and Presence

WIBF and Macquarie invite you to attend the RADA Business “Stepping Up with Confidence and Presence” masterclass, which examines how to increase your personal impact and communication skills, and hold your space with confidence and authenticity.

Participants will try out different techniques to explore how small changes can have a large impact – through the lens of both the virtual world in which we are all currently operating, as well as in person.

An immersive, fun and interactive experience, you will leave the session with practical skills that you can immediately apply in the workplace.

Key take-aways:

• Create a powerful vocal presence in person and virtually
• Develop a centred and effective posture
• Engage and inspire an audience be that through a screen or in person
• Explore congruence of body with voice
• Use gestures and vocab for maximum impact
