2008 Programme

The workshop day typically includes modules from selected facilitators:

David Firth - Creating Powerful Presentations Concentrating on the message you want to communicate, to create clear, meaningful and memorable presentations that stand out from the rest. David takes you through the entire process highlighting clear, persuasive and logical ways to keep your audience attentive.

Karoline Newman & Tony Edridge - Confidence, Clarity and Effective Communication This module tackles the traps and offers tips to help you enjoy the prospect of making a presentation. The facilitators use proven techniques from theatre and business to illustrate their message. Karoline Newman & John Mawson - Synchronising Messages and Mannerisms to Leave a Lasting Impression Learn how to become a good presenter by knowing what you want to say, the reason for your presentation, and how the delivery of that presentation should match and engage with your audience.

Adrian Furnham - The Psychology of Sales / Emotional Intelligence Adrian's session will show you how to develop higher self-awareness, manage your emotions, motivate yourself, and develop effective communication and interpersonal skills. Adrian always delivers a thought-provoking message with great humour and infectious enthusiasm.

Santa Raymond - Communication and Presentation Coaching / Selling Design and Developing Relationships Santa is an architect who now coaches members of the building design, management and construction teams in communication and presentation skills, in order that they can better engage with their clients, and with each other. Her highly interactive sessions are RIBA CPD accredited.

John Mawson A trained actor, John has a rich bass/baritone voice which he has used to advantage in musical theatre. He is an experienced lecturer to MBA students and his help with vocal delivery perfectly complements Karoline's holistic approach to good presentation.

Marion Scott Marion covers the whole of the UK, tailoring her workshops to the client's particular needs. The early part of her career was in professional sales until, in 1994 , she fulfilled a burning ambition when she went to Queen Margaret University to study Acting. On graduating she indulged her love of theatre and was appointed by the University in the drama voice department, where she remains a part-time lecturer to this day. Her expeience at the sharp end gives her great empathy with the people she trains. She shares Karoline's and John's belief that the voice will only work well if the body is working well.
