Maya Angelou’s timeless words resonate: “People forget what you said, they forget what you did, but they never forget how you made them feel.” As we navigate important presentations and tricky interactions, leaving a lasting impact is key. Every encounter is an opportunity to influence and connect.

Join Ben Nathan, a former actor turned executive coach and facilitator, on a taster journey on the art of making a strong impression. We will explore the core elements of presence – your voice, your body language, and the power of your mind. Learn how to command attention, appear confident (even if you don’t feel it!) and inspire your audience.
