Presentation Training

Presentation Training Courses teach participants simple techniques to improve body posture, breathing, voice production and performance skills.

These courses teach your staff how to release tension allowing a focused performance which is confident, credible and dynamic. The voice production techniques release a more comfortable and resonant sound. Posture techniques enable a poised and natural dynamic creating an easy rapport with the audience.

“Barbara is an invaluable part of any presentation skills training we offer to our lawyers. Invariably, participants leave Barbara’s sessions feeling hugely empowered through the small but powerful insights she offers into ways in which they are able to project themselves and their voices more confidently and professionally. In my experience, the impact of Barbara’s training is deep and long-lasting.”
— Nicola Atkinson, National Learning & Development Manager. Blake Dawson.

Your staff will be taught the same skills which are taught in all leading performance schools around the world without the intimidating exercises or training styles used by some drama specialists.

These are “hands-on” workshops designed to get  your staff up on their feet and teach them how to replace  fear with confidence in important presentations. Together with the participants, I create an environment which invites the group to work with their bodies and be willing to take the risk of trying something different.

These are powerful training programs especially for people who live in their heads such as Lawyers and Managers.

This training encourages your staff to move from their head and live in their body in order to create:

an authentic presence;
a personal presence; and
a confident presence in their presentation.

It is a concrete training program where participants can see the legitimate benefit of what they are doing, as opposed to other programs where the connection is not always immediately apparent.

Because of the specialised nature of the training I work in small groups in order to:

maximise the “hands on” time for each participant; and
optimise the integration of the work.

Your staff are:

continually on their feet practising and perfecting their skills; and
continually receiving rich, immediate feedback to use in their own practice during the session.

Your staff learn by:

watching their colleagues;
feeling their new alignment;
hearing the improvement in their voice; and
seeing the increased quality of interaction with the audience.

“As a performer and teacher I constantly speak in front of live audiences, sometimes in large rooms to large crowds. In this regard, The Alexander Technique has made a massive difference to my ability to speak for long periods of time with power and ease. But more than that, it has allowed me to express and communicate with greater presence, spontaneity and an openness that leads to a much richer relationship with my audience.”
— Brett Wood, Teacher of Acting, Actors’ Centre Australia
