Authenticity lies at the heart of all good communication – the ability to deliver effective messages with truth, heart and natural empathy. At our best, we can inspire people with our passionate presentations, yet many of us are daunted by the very idea of public speaking. This one-day intensive introduces delegates to methods and practices which can increase our effectiveness and maximise our impact in presentations, meetings, and one-to-ones – even on the telephone.

As Managers and Leaders, we are observed and scrutinised from the moment we arrive in the car park. We are expected to “perform”. We are “on stage” or “in the spotlight”, not just when we are in presentation mode. People notice minute changes in our confidence, mood and demeanour. In difficult times this can mean the difference between success or failure, consensus or conflict.

This highly experiential programme takes such theatrical metaphors as a starting point. Employing the skills and experience of the writer, director, and performer, it shows leaders and managers how to “hit the spot” in word and action: how to motivate, comfort, stimulate and inspire as occasion demands.

This programme is particularly useful for individuals and teams who are facing communications challenges such as roll-outs, change programmes, or cutbacks. It provides leaders with an array of practical skills which are proven to have a positive and lasting impact.

William Ayot has delivered seminars, workshops, master-classes and keynotes, on leadership and communication issues for over ten years.

A passionate believer in the power of the spoken word, he has read his poetry in venues from the Bank of England and the Globe Theatre, to the United Nations. William is a Fellow of the Guild of Mythodrama Practitioners.
