Having presence in the boardroom, making a sales pitch, or giving a presentation that captures and engages your audience isn’t an innate skillset. 

For most, mastering these skills require hours of craft and regular practice. These moments are all about performance, but very few are fortunate enough to have been trained in traditional acting techniques that actually resonate and translate effectively at work.

In this informal webinar, voice actor and communication coach Melissa Thom will guide participants through exercises designed to boost confidence ahead of public speaking.

This webinar is for anyone who’d like to learn some practical tips to help unlock the power of their voice, successfully influence an audience and communicate with confidence.

More about our ‘Wake Up Call’ webinar series

These sessions take place every other Friday morning from 8.30-9am, for the BCI community to share their pearls of wisdom with one another. The half hour webinars will involve a 15 minute presentation followed by a 10 minute facilitated Q&A, with introductions from the BCI team.

Our community is full of such amazing talent so we’re giving members the stage to talk about things that excite them so they can inspire their peers. The sessions will be a mix of expert tips and tricks and case studies – the perfect opportunity to learn something new before the week is out.

Our usual online format is an interactive ‘meeting’ but for this series we’re running webinars so that it’s easy to listen in while prepping for the day ahead or while having your breakfast! Cameras and mics will be off but you can ask your questions through the chat box or submit them beforehand.

Please get in touch with Dan if you’re interested in speaking at a future session.
