Tongue-tied? In a cold sweat? ... Relax, you’re not the only one who tenses up at the thought of a presentation, a job interview or an important telephone call. But maybe it’s time you made some changes.

What is this training about?
In this presentation training (3 evening sessions, 1 double-session on a Saturday) course Marjolein Roeleveld is going to work with you. She’ll help you find your own unique style and voice in five themed sessions on ‘body language’, ‘structure’, ‘audience and place’, ‘voice and breath’ and ‘energy and enthusiasm’. Marjolein’s personal approach is the secret power of this training course. Presenting is so much easier if you can be yourself. That’s why the focus is on who you are. 

What will this course do for you?
This training course is going to give you a serious confidence boost. You’ll get all the tools you need to get your story across – it’s a skill you’ll be able to use anytime, anywhere. On completion of the course, you’ll know how to use your voice and body for a presentation or important conversation. You’ll be able to present in a powerful way that’s rooted in your personal enthusiasms and unique qualities. You’ll get all the tools you need to prepare for the presentation or conversation, and find out how to consciously apply what you’ve learned while presenting or talking.
