1 or 2 day workshops, delivered in-house, tailored to your specific needs and ideal for small groups of up to 6 delegates.

How does it work?

These interactive, practical workshops are designed to help your people, whatever their level of experience and expertise, understand and be able to apply the proven methods, thought processes and mental disciplines of the professional performer.

The small group format allows me to meet the needs of each individual and ensure they move forward and significantly improve key skills by the end of the workshop.

What are the benefits?

• Guarantee of significant improvement in communication, presentation and speaking skills

• Work teams or mixed groups from across the company interact, work together and learn from each other

• Practical guidance from a professional, working theatre director

• Professional, constructive and individual feedback

• Training tailored to company or team objectives

“The combination of the practical issues together with the “psychology
of performing” was challenging, fun and hugely rewarding.”

WILLIAM LAWRENCE, VIRGIN MOBILE.
