Our coaching program was founded on 3 principles:
- True confidence cannot be taught alone. Confidence develops naturally when the speaker is armed with a solid set of skills that work and can be relied upon.
- A good speaker must master two disciplines. Control of the voice and the body.
- Good coaching is about enabling the speaker to convey their own personality and passions. Every speaker is unique and we do not create clones.
We believe that by providing a comprehensive training in the technical skills of speaking and communication the speaker is free to develop their own style of delivery by using only the skills that work well for them. For some speakers the use of stillness can be empowering, in others animation and physicality can convey energy and drama.
One-to-One Coaching
Our coaching for individuals has two aims:
- To arm the speaker with a complete set of speaking skills.
- To work with the speaker on the use of these skills to develop their unique style of delivery.
This training normally consists of a number of private coaching sessions with enough time between for the speaker to practise and master the techniques. Finally, the speaker is taught to scale these skills to any situation from one-to-one meetings, groups and larger, more formal speaking environments.
Group Coaching
Our group workshop has two aims:
- To arm the entire group, as individuals, with a fundamental set of speaking skills.
- To encourage better and clearer communication within the organisation and in it's contact with clients.
This one-day workshop is memorable, exciting and fun. Although the focus remains entirely on the skills of speaking and communication, the group session also has a team building side-effect as individuals are partnered and teamed up in exercises.
