Description
This immersive session equips participants with the tools to communicate with confidence and presence. Combining breath work, vocal techniques and practical rehearsal of real workplace scenarios, Polly draws on her 25 years as a performer and coach to help participants develop their unique presentation style. The workshop moves beyond theory into practice, ensuring participants leave with both knowledge and experience.
Benefits
Participants gain a deeper understanding of how voice, posture and body language affect their impact. They practise applying new skills to meetings, interviews and presentations, receiving direct feedback in a supportive environment. The result is improved confidence, more engaging delivery, and the ability to handle nerves with greater ease.

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.
