Navigating Communication Challenges in Modern Business

In today's fast-paced, technology-driven business environment, professionals often struggle to make their voices heard and ideas valued, especially within remote and virtual team settings. Without the ability to authentically engage and influence, promising careers can stagnate, and critical relationships may fail to develop, hindering both personal and organizational progress.

Enhanced Presence and Impactful Communication

Imagine a workplace where every professional, from early career individuals to new managers, commands attention and influences effectively across all communication platforms. With a robust presence, they engage audiences, drive discussions, and forge strong relationships, advancing careers and contributing significantly to organizational objectives.

Our specialized training module on Presenting with Presence is designed to take your presentation to the next level. Through this program, participants will:

  • Be introduced to the Signals of Personal Presence: Participants learn and practice the behaviours they can dial up or dial down depending on their goals and the needs of their audience.
  • Learn how to Command a Room: Participants learn the “High Presence Welcome” technique of commanding a room and setting the right tone. They then field improvised questions, using the presence of the “Expert” to handle a Q & A with confidence while maintaining a connection with the audience
  • Communicate with Passion and Purpose: Participants work in pairs to rehearse and perform a theatrical monologue, applying the skills learned earlier. The monologues stretch their level of expressiveness and challenge them to authentically connect with the audience.


By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Present themselves and their ideas with greater confidence and credibility in a variety of business settings
  • Use words, body, voice, and facial expression with intention to communicate business messages
  • Leverage specific aspects of their personal presence through an action plan for continued development
  •  skills are refined and ready for professional application.
