The core message, the data, the structure, the slides: they’re what we tend to focus on when we prepare for a pitch or a keynote presentation. But how often do we take the time to also prepare how we are going to deliver that message?

Our voice, our body language and our ability to connect to the audience can have a massive impact on how (or if!) our message is received.

This workshop is dedicated to speakers who are already experienced, who may be senior experts or leaders in their field, and want to take their speaking to the next level.
Of course, we also welcome those who might be at an earlier stage of their speaking journey.

What we will cover:

What is Leadership Presence?

We can all feel it when we are in the presence of a true leader. What about them makes us feel that way? Studies have identified 3 core traits that senior leaders demonstrate in their communication.

What is my Leadership Presence?

How do the 3 aspects of Leadership Presence show up in each of our personalities? The ingredients might be the same, but their mix, or their specific “flavour” might differ for each one of us.

How can I project my Leadership Presence from the stage?

First impressions are formed before we even start to deliver our opening line. And how we deliver our lines can decide if the message lands. What are the delivery techniques that best support our Leadership Presence?

To make the most of this learning experience, participants will be invited to a few practical applications during the workshop. For some of these, it will be useful to consider a specific presentation to be fine-tuned (it could be your EHiN presentation). For others, all you will need is your breath and an open mind.
