An interactive workshop with Karen Hale. Learn how to gain the confidence, skills and techniques to speak up so you can be heard. "There are two types of speakers: Those who get nervous and those who are liars." - Mark Twain Is this you? Promotions not applied for, jobs roles not tried for, networking events not attended? Parties avoided, family ceremonies not spoken at, too much left unsaid? Do you have excellent ideas that get lost in time because you are fearful of voicing them. Have you missed opportunities because it involves showing up? Do you stay silent in meetings? Do you have a brilliant business idea that isn’t being pursued because you know it will involve some kind of networking or public speaking? If the answer to any/most of these is YES, then read on... This workshop is strange by its nature. Why would someone who disliked public speaking, go to a place where they would speak in public? This is why.... Because Karen has analysed what makes a good communicator when speaking informally to people; she has taken those aspects and developed a group of exercises that allows you to use these exact techniques when speaking at networking events and in public. Added to that, Karen provides a smorgasbord of methods on how to control nerves to ensure you communicate at your authentic best. Please note: everybody in the room will be there for the same reason as you! You will be supported and encouraged and will learn how to turn fear into empowerment! About Karen: An empowerment and public speaking coach with over 30 years experience in coaching and advising individuals and business leaders from a diverse range of sectors on effective communication skills. It takes a second to form a first impression about a person. Your body language, clothes, speech and personal presence convey messages about your background, skills and expertise. Karen works with her clients to ensure they make that first impression powerful and authentic so they get remembered for the right reasons. By creating a confident and authentic presence you increase your visibility and your credibility. “Karen is a truly special individual. She made me feel totally at ease and was able to help me stand and speak confidently for the first time and she did that all with huge warmth and a lot of humour.” She fulfils her greatest passion on a daily basis, helping people present themselves to the outside world in the very best way. She has enabled hundreds of people to move on in their life and careers and build their growth, confidence and image. Karen works across a huge spectrum - from CEOs in FTSE 100 companies to Foundation Class university students at UAL coaching presentation skills. She coaches senior individuals and consults to leading global banks, private banks and family offices, advising business leaders and their teams. She is Central School of Speech and Drama trained. Kind words about Karen... I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Karen numerous times over the past 16 years to assist me in my various corporate roles. Karen has always been the person I have turned to first and foremost when I have needed help with my personal brand, presence and communication, helping me develop confidence in public speaking and showing up in front of the camera. A HUGE thank you for Monday – you were wonderful. The feedback we have had has been unbelievable – I can honestly say in all my years in this industry I have never heard such positive comments on every aspect. Karen has an incredible gift of making you feel completely at ease and is able to bring the best out of a person with ease. She is friendly, approachable and warm and I now refer Karen to everybody I know who needs assistance with any type of public speaking, communication and confidence requirement. The results speak for themselves. Highly recommend!
