Speakeasy

30 June 2010

Andrew Thorp, Speakeasy

We are delighted to be able to host a series of events to help you develop your presentation skills in a highly innovative and enjoyable way. Developing your presentation skills is about more than being able to stand up and make a PowerPoint presentation! The skills you will learn will give you the expertise and confidence to excel in many other situations. There will also be valuable networking opportunities.

Speakeasy is a course of 6 sessions, during which everyone will have the opportunity to present and then be critiqued by the rest of the group. There is a syllabus of different skills topics which will be covered over the 6 month duration such as body language, storytelling, audience engagement, Powerpoint design. There will also be a guest expert on board for most of the sessions, including an actor, stand-up comic, PowerPoint designer, NLP* practitioner. * Neuro-Linguistic Programming

We've had excellent feedback from the first session which ran on Wednesday 26 May when the guest speaker was Ashley Boroda, trainer of stand-up comedy. Ashley looked at things like audience engagement, storytelling, managing nerves and the use of humour in speaking/presenting.

The sessions will all be run by Andrew Thorp who has developed the whole Speakeasy concept.

You can dip in and out of the programme and pay as you go but we recommend that after you have enjoyed the first session you commit for the full 6 months. Each session costs £20 and if you pre-pay for the series (after attending one) you’ll be invited to have 2 hours personal coaching with Andrew Thorp at no charge.
