Speaking with Gravitas' - Executive Programme

Achieving the human touch from any platform

This is an executive presentation coaching programme with a core objective of enabling presenters to win credibility, gravitas and impact from the platform in front of clients, audiences and peers alike, be that 1:1 or 1:1000.

The focus is on being yourself, engaging an audience, avoiding overkill and exaggeration, developing integrity and breeding enthusiasm. A standard presentation skills course will help you point at a flip chart or talk about your slides, Speaking With Gravitas has lifelong impact on your delivery style, approach and success with audiences as a skilled speaker and communicator.

Within all groups, individual executives start from different levels of competency, confidence and ability. Individual coaching plans are created that exactly meets the needs of both the individual and the organisation.

The building blocks of the programme are based on enhancing personal strengths rather than the standard presentation training that focuses on “what not to do”. Our way creates an ambience that addresses fears and trepidation safely within a natural atmosphere to raise the individuals levels of comfort and confidence.
