One-day Workshop
BHBIA Captivating the Conference - How to be an effective public speaker
Hamilton House, Mabledon Place, London WC1H 9BD
Thursday 10 February 2022, 9:00 PM - 5:00 PM
For many, speaking in public is a scary prospect. However, it can also be a great opportunity to display one's credibility and increase one's profile, while delivering knowledge, insight and value to others.
This highly practical, interactive workshop will unlock the secrets to successful speaking, whether at conferences or to similarly large audiences. It will be particularly valuable for BHBIA 2022 Annual Conference speakers.
We'll look at subjects such as the importance of preparation, of clarity of message and purpose, and of one's body language, voice and energy levels. As well as the psychological and physical, we'll also look at the key practical elements of powerful presentations, including how to engage your audience, handle questions and take control of the logistics. You will also get the opportunity to deliver, and then receive tailored, 1-2-1 feedback on your performance.
The course is being run for us by professional trainer Daniel Wain, who won the John Wheeler Award for best conference session at the BHBIA 2021 Annual Conference.
Delegates at previous speaker training run for us by Danny have said:
"...The relaxed and fun way the host curated the meeting and made everyone feel at ease and comfortable with presenting."
"One-to-one training was very valuable, and gave the chance to gain tailored advice; something I didn't expect on such a personal level."
