In today’s competitive world, standing out requires strong personality, uniqueness and a level of impact above and beyond anything ordinary. Having a strong and positive presence can open up doors, get people to listen, pay attention, to buy, to commit and to support you which in turn can boost your confidence, increase your chances of success and prepare you to face new challenges.
Those with strong personalities are always remembered well by others. People go quiet and pay attention when such characters talk. They are almost automatically expected to take control, be in charge and lead others and their views and decisions are often respected. What makes these people different from the rest of us? Why is it that some people are listened to, respected and followed while others are ignored and lost in the background?
Having presence is all about being very good at two major areas; your internal view or attitude, also known as inner presence, and your external behaviour, how you present yourself, or outer impact.
This course focuses on these two areas. It all begins by stopping shyness and breaking through the various fears acquire through different stages of life. Numerous exercises and group activities provided in this course systematically approach various communication skills which allow delegates to examine their behaviour in different contexts and learn new skills.
The course is designed from the outset around the exercises which also encourage delegates to learn from each other. Smaller exercises help to build confidence while more real-life case studies and role plays allow delegates to implement what they have learned already and apply it in a real-time situation and further improve their impact skills.
