Captivate an Audience Workshop



  • How to give an Effective Presentation, Workshop and Talk





    What it is about:
    Have you ever gone to a talk only to find that you did not enjoy it, felt that you didn't get what you were expecting and maybe even got irritated with it? Don’t be one of those presenters who cause this for your audience.

    Regardless of your topic you can present a talk/workshop that will draw each and every person into what you are discussing and have them leave feeling that they got something out of it, that you touched their lives and that they want to interact with you again. It has nothing to do with confidence in standing in front of people but rather what happens in the background and beforehand. Giving an effective presentation will boost your credibility, have your business grow and have you touch and change more people’s lives.

    About the presenter:
    I have been public speaking most of my life, doing drama throughout school and have been on stage or behind a podium since then, presenting many talks, symposiums, conventions and workshops. Some of my public speaking highlights have been: presenting at Discovery Wellness Convention, teaching Richard Brandson how to Zumba in front of hundreds of people, being the MC for an indoor triathlon that featured on Super Sport TV, working with Patrick Holford on one of his 2 day symposiums.
    I am qualified in “Train the trainer” and “Making learning happen”. These qualifications were the stepping stones to move public speaking from being a once off event into continual education and facilitation.
    I have been a master trainer for 8 years: writing manuals and presenting topics related to my field of expertise.
    I am also currently a facilitator working adhoc for Virgin Active and HFPA, facilitating many subjects and courses.

    I wish to teach those, who are interested, in the skills around presenting and hosting workshops as I find that there are so many great people with great things that they do, but they fall short on getting this across due to not knowing the formula on how to give an effective presentation. So if you feel you need these skills I would love to interact with you in my workshop.
