​A two-part workshop to explore, practise and master 
presentation and public speaking skills with ease.

There is an art to authoring and delivering a captivating presentation. Whether it’s a ten minute talk at a trade event, a forty minute lecture at a University, an hour bid interview for a project, an open studio presentation, a speech for industry peers or simply a conversation at a networking do.
In this two part workshop, we briefly guide participants through the foundations, science and techniques of a range of presentation skills. Our main focus throughout, in a series of creative exercises - designed to bring out the best in each person - is for everyone to try their hand at improving confidence, narratives and delivery of what makes a presentation captivating. Constructive feedback is instantaneous, and tangible progress is always made.
