This workshop explores and develops the topic of public speaking from different points of view.
In addition to the logical construction of the speech (thesis, context, body, closure, etc.), the trainer, an actor and theater director, works on the expressive aspects of communication, supporting participants with multiple activities, both group and individual, and breathing and relaxation exercises aimed at controlling the anxiety-provoking aspects of speech in presence or remotely.
Target audience
Those who wish to develop public speaking techniques in the management of complex or representative contexts: top management presentations, representative situations, work groups to be managed, articulate audiences, in-person or remotely.
Methodology
The two days are led by an actor and theater director. The course is based on numerous simulations by videotaped participants to foster more effective awareness and contextualization of the lecturer’s feedback.
Duration
2-day in-person course or webinar mode.
