Public Freaking vs Public Speaking
Cultivating Dynamic Authentic Presence

Do public speaking, interviewing or networking make you want to run for cover? Do you wish you could do these face to face interactions via email?

Do nervousness and self-consciousness undermine your ability to share your passion and vision?

This fun workshop will teach you physical, emotional and mental strategies that will enable you to bring your most confident and authentic self to all aspects of your work-life including leadership, public speaking, networking and interviewing.

We will address those overwhelming nerves, self-consciousness, and what to focus on as you prepare. Vocal variety, tone, movement and other relevant topics will also be covered.
