Workshop Topics

Confidence, Poise, & Public Speaking

The skills of being confident, poised, positive, and not afraid of public speaking are all learned skills. This workshop is interactive in order to help develop and improve these skills. What is taught in this workshop can be repeatedly utilized to help with success in school, work, and personal pursuits, as they are fundamental skills.

This workshop will help show that public speaking is quite simply an opportunity to have a conversation with an audience. The participants will learn body language strategies that help them speak well. The group will then practice different body language approaches while they speak. In doing so, they will begin to see how different postures help to demonstrate their confidence visually and in their voice. To facilitate a conversation and opportunity to reflect, clips of TedTalks and other venues of people speaking will be shown.

Approaches for building confidence and self- esteem will be taught, as well as a conversation had about how it is a continuous process, and something we have control over improving about ourselves.

A main takeaway is that confidence is key to being successful. Most of us have heard the adage 'fake it till you make it,' part of what that is saying is, show confidence and the rest will follow.

Communicate your Story and Be Remembered

How we talk about who we are is really important. People tend to only be able to remember 2-3 things about us at a time, so all our messaging must tie back to our overall story and remain consistent.

Whether applying for a job, aiming for a high review, or selling your products, being able to tell your story helps you to be successful. That's why in this workshop we will craft your story and communicate it effectively in verbal, written and digital communications.

The key points of your personal story need to be repeated across all your channels from your social media, to your website, to your brochures. What helps your story land best is when it is authentic, consistent, and conversational so that it feels personal to the other person.

Health and Wellness of the Mind and Body

Being successful personally and professionally starts with taking care of your mind and your body. In this workshop, the group will be engaged in an interactive conversation about how we are what we eat, what we do and what we think.

Along these lines, we will encourage a daily commitment to moving our bodies and ideas about how to be persistent towards this goal.

We will also discuss why it's important that we take care of not only our bodies, but also our minds. In doing so, we will discuss mindfulness, basic meditation techniques, and yoga movements.

We will also talk about nutrition, and show examples of healthy portions and meals, and discuss why it's important to be aware of what we eat and how we fuel our bodies.

Self-presentation Matters

In this workshop, we discuss the importance of investing in and being mindful of self-presentation.

We have all heard the phrase, “Dress for the job you want.” There is a lot of truth in that, and not just for jobs. How we dress affects the energy we give off when we enter the room, as it communicates to other people quite a bit about who we are. That is why even having a few statement and high quality wardrobe pieces for occasions where people are getting to know you, will help you go far.

Along the lines of being clear on your personal narrative and the 2-3 points you want people to remember about you, how you dress needs to tie into this in order to remain congruent with that overall story.

In addition, the body language (eye contact, calm mannerisms) and self-care (hygiene, exercise, nutrition, mindset) all come together to give other people a clear picture of who you are and what you are about.

At the end of this workshop, each individual will have a better sense of the brand, and persona they are communicating to the world through how they present their appearance and energy. They will also understand how they can use it as a tool in their professional life.

Success Under Stress

In this workshop, we will work on the breathing and mindset techniques that are effective in remaining calm under stress. There is a way you can still acknowledge those feelings, but have enough experience and practice behind you that will still allow you to perform with poise and an air of calm in an otherwise high pressure and stressful situation.
