What we will cover:
Understanding power
To speak powerfully you have to feel powerful, so we'll start here. I will give you four very practical ways that you can better understand yourself, leverage your strengths, and manage your energy.
Getting your ideas across
Generally we're taught how to inform an audience, rather than how to influence them. Influence is generated through connection so we'll look at storytelling techniques grounded in your lived experience, as well as how to structure your speaking so that you engage an audience rather than overwhelm them.
Challenging authority effectively
Difficult conversations are a critical part of leadership, but all too often they are either too polite or too confrontational. We will look at how to steer the middle ground so that you can bridge differences of opinion, and direct the flow of attention towards an outcome you desire.
Strategies to dial down fear
Finally, we'll land on how to manage fear. There are tried and tested ways to control the nerves that threaten to overwhelm us when we speak. We'll look at four ways you can alter your relationship with fear.
