Workshop
Description
This full-day workshop allows participants to go deeper into presentation skills while building confidence through practice. The day begins with breath work and vocal warm-ups before introducing Polly’s presentation toolkit. Through a mix of group sessions and small-group or individual coaching, participants explore body language, voice projection, storytelling and managing nerves. By the end of the day, they will have designed and delivered a short presentation in a supportive environment.
Benefits
Participants leave with a complete toolkit for confident presenting, backed up by practical rehearsal and feedback. They gain the ability to engage audiences more effectively, manage anxiety in high-pressure moments, and bring clarity and impact to their communication. The full-day format ensures deeper learning and real behavioural change.
Hosted by Polly May

Client Requirements
If it was a longer singing workshop, I would bring a gig piano and need a plug for that. I wouldn't need a microphone. For other workshops I would like to display a powerpoint but happy not to if that's a problem.
