Public Speaking and Presentations

1 day course

Tutor
The tutor for this course is Paul Ogden. Paul combines his experience as a management consultant and trainer with his knowledge of voice and performance to provide a creative and pragmatic approach to business development. Paul says: “It is well known that the most effective voice exercises use singing. In addition, the resistance many people have to singing highlights some of the barriers they have to communication in general.”

“An unusual but really valuable approach”

“A fun and inspirational way to improve a really important skill”

“How often do you get a group of businesspeople singing together? But it works!”

"I had a high profile board meeting today and was asked to report on activities and a financial breakdown. I thought that I would never get through this. Was on my own for about ten mins so put into practice what I had learnt from the course including some singing.....heaven knows what anybody would have thought if they'd have heard me! Just to say I sailed through it...was positive....took it slowly and came out feeling "if I can deliver that I can deliver ANYTHING!!!!" So the course was a real help for me.....pass on my thanks to Paul....it WORKS!!"
