City College Plymouth is using its expertise in performing arts to bring a unique approach to build assertiveness and presentation skills in your business.

This workshop brings the energy of the performance into your workplace. We will provide interactive and engaging activities and demonstrations for up to 16 delegates in a bespoke workshop. The programme covers all the skills required to communicate in a self assured and confident style, understanding body language and how to increase your energy through posture and movement.

Course information

Introduction -An introduction to who we are, what to expect from the day and what you will be gaining from the session (better communication, building rapport within the team, improved presentational skills etc).

Ice breaker activities -performance based activities used to build an ensemble which require communication and presentation skills.

Introduction to performance skills and how these skills cross over in business -Identification of necessary skills in performance and business

Body language and presentation skills after a group discussion on first impressions, body language and building rapport we move onto a practical exploration of how we communicate physically using facial expressions, gestures, posture, movement and energy levels. This will use drama based exercises which encourage a confident and self-assured presentational style.

Vocal projection and clarity of communication -in this section, we will be exploring how best to use our voices in professional settings. Taking the group through a range of simple vocal exercises which are designed to improve voice projection and clarity when delivering confident presentations, holding meetings or making speeches.

Team building and problem solving activities –this section is based around ensemble building skills and techniques that are used in the performing arts industry which encourage participants to build better rapport, work as a team, think creatively and work towards a common objective.

Evaluation – this is a chance to reflect on the skills explored and discuss how they can be used practically in the workplace.

 

This course is for anyone working in business who wishes to help their staff be more confident in various business settings. The skills covered will enable the learner to give killer presentations, hold more effective meetings, conduct sales pitches or a number of other business skills that require confident communication. The ability to project your voice well, use confident body language and make the right connection with people can be the difference between being a business that’s ticking over and one that’s ready to jump to the next level.

This one day course would put business leaders (or anyone who needs it) in the room with a trained performance professional who would teach the above skills and much more.
