Presence is a Skill: How to Speak with More Confidence and Impact
What if confidence in public speaking is not something you either have or don’t have?
We often think confident speakers are simply confident people. But confidence is also something we can practice through our behaviour.
Actors know this well. They use their body, voice, focus and intention to create presence, even when they feel nervous.
In this interactive webinar, public speaking coach and theatre director Bjørn de Wildt will introduce practical techniques from theatre that you can use in presentations, meetings and everyday communication.
Together, we will explore how to:
use your body and voice to communicate with more confidence
focus on your intention instead of trying to “perform well”
create stronger contact with your audience
turn nervous energy into something useful
identify small behaviours you can actively practice
This will not be a webinar where you simply sit back and listen. Expect a few practical exercises and the chance to experiment.
Presence is not a personality trait. It is a skill you can train.
