Personal Presentation through Body and Voice
Step Forward and Be Heard

Find the course in danish

This course focuses on you as a communicator. Intensive training is the key phrase, as you will get plenty of practice at standing forward, dealing with anxiety and signalling confidence and energy with your body and voice. We work specifically with each participant’s needs and development areas.

Participants

This course is aimed at individuals who wish to have greater impact and confidence when presenting a topic for a big or small group of people. When you give a presentation, it is important that you appear confident and, in that way, establish credibility. Insecurity and anxiety currently prevent you from stepping forward, from taking the floor on a regular basis, which you would like to, and you feel that you are not getting your message through.

Benefit

This course teaches you to

• Speak to groups with greater confidence
• Make your message clear and vivid
• Handle anxiety and overcome inhibitions
• Use your voice, breathing and body to support your message
• Organise your message
• Become more convincing and professional when communicating your messages
• Grow strong at communicating and confident in your presentation

Your company will get an employee who

• Communicates in a personal, relevant and effective way
• Demonstrates greater confidence at gatherings
• Is aware of his or her own communication skills
• Has greater impact
• Can maintain an overview and tackle anxiety
• Has a clear message and believes in him or herself
• Is present in the situation and can give a presentation without the aid of PowerPoint slides

You will receive exact feedback on how you come across to others and the effect of your communication, and you will learn to use your body language optimally and train your voice.

Course content

Your voice and your body language
When communicating, how you use your voice and your body is crucial, because your body and your voice reveal much more than just the content of your presentation and your communication. This is where your anxiety, fear of expectations and perhaps even your panic shine through more or less clearly. And this is where you can really make a difference.

We work with
Practical communication skills:

• Making your communication clearer and more vivid
• Communication strategies
• Individual reaction patterns
• Communication theory: the relationship between professional content, personal credibility and the relationship with the listener
• What worked? What didn’t?
• What signals what?
• Specific goals for the voice: don’t mumble, speak loudly enough, etc.
• Goals related to expression: getting out, establishing contact
• Emotional goals: handling anxiety
• Professionalising yourself: more of the things that work, get rid of the things that get in the way
• Habits: voice and body language are habit related and can thus be trained
• Body language and exercises
• Difficulty stepping forward

You will also have an opportunity to work with individual weaknesses through individual coaching. We make a point of creating a safe, good course environment, as this is a prerequisite for optimal learning and development.

Learning method

It’s about you!

We emphasise practical, concrete training of each participant, which allows us time and space to go into depth with each participant’s wishes and needs, and combine this with supporting theory.

The participants are “on” and give improvised as well as prepared presentations. We record most exercises on DVD and there will be plenty of feedback from the facilitator and the other participants.

The purpose is for you to constantly work on strengthening your progress so that you want to keep working with your new skills after the course.

You will receive great help with this as well because, in addition to presentations and exercises, you will receive one hour of personal coaching.

The coaching takes place individually after the course and offers an opportunity for you to receive additional sparring and to test the retention of what you have learned.
