Description

What Happens

Each session focuses on one or more of the following executive capabilities, depending on the organisation’s context and objectives:

Narrative Building
Leaders work through a structured framework to distil complex strategy into clear, compelling narrative. Participants rehearse delivering key messages under time and pressure constraints, refining clarity, coherence and impact.

Role Play & Executive Simulation
Participants engage in carefully designed leadership simulations, modelling board conversations, stakeholder challenges or cross-functional tensions. These scenarios provide a safe environment to test influence, authority and decision-making in real time.

Improvisation for Leadership Agility
Using structured improvisation principles adapted for business settings, leaders practise responding without over-preparation, strengthening adaptability, collaborative intelligence and confident decision-making under uncertainty.

Status & Body Language Intelligence
Through guided exercises, participants examine how posture, gesture, stillness and spatial awareness shape perception of authority. Subtle physical adjustments are practised to enhance gravitas and executive presence.

Breath, Voice & Presence
Leaders learn practical techniques to regulate stress responses, stabilise vocal tone and use pace and pause strategically. Breath becomes a tool for composure, clarity and influence.

Ensemble & Collaborative Intelligence
Drawing from ensemble performance principles, teams engage in listening recalibration, shared attention exercises and leadership handover drills that strengthen trust, cohesion and collective authority.

Each session is experiential, professionally facilitated and designed for immediate transfer into real leadership environments.

About the Host

For over 15 years, I have designed and facilitated experiences at the intersection of culture, science, technology and education. My work spans innovation ecosystems connected to CERN and digitalswitzerland, where dialogue, creativity and human presence shape complex environments.

As Zurich Academy Manager of Simply Theatre, I lead programmes that build confidence, collaboration and expressive clarity. As a former Lecturer in Applied Theatre at University College Cork, I developed practical methods that translate performance techniques into tools for business communication, leadership presence and team alignment.

I am also Founder of The Story Space, where I support professionals to strengthen voice, narrative clarity and authentic authority. I am passionate about creating spaces of vitality where people reconnect to confidence, creativity and purpose.
