development as an effective communicator

Content:
PERSONAL IMPACT AND PRESENTATION employs business and
improvisational methods related to Status, Voice Production, and Manner of Speech
to help you improve your "performance" when presenting to Senior Managers,
Conference Delegates, Interview Panels, within Work related Team structures, and
at meetings.
You will learn the value of non-verbal communication including body language and
gesture.
Commonly asked questions such as: "What do I do when I lose my train of
thought?" or "What do I do with my hands?" will be addressed. You will leave this
workshop with techniques adapted to your individual needs.
This workshop offers its delegates the opportunity to learn more about themselves
as a speaker. It focuses on managing one's behaviours when addressing a group
and on methods to manage how we are "coming across" to our audience.
Discover how you can be more personally effective in a safe and engaging
environment.
The Programme in More Detail:
PERSONAL IMPACT and Presentation is a full one day workshop (09:30 to
16:30) with a lunch break. Participants begin the day with a programme overview
and introductions.
Each workshop Participant will then present a pre-prepared short section of a
Presentation they have given previously (2 to 5 minutes max.) or a section of one
that they hope to deliver in future. This is the starting point for identifying
individual needs and requirements for the day.
The exercises that follow focus on different individual areas of improvement in
technique:
“Active Relaxation” before speaking
.
Effective Breathing techniques
.
Body Language
.
Projection
.
Articulation
.
Tempo
.
Use of Humour and Metaphor
.
Creative Structuring of the Presentation itself
.
Each individual focused area for improvement is then put into practical context with
a presentation exercise. So what is being learned is then put immediately into
practice.
About the Session Leader:
Charles Serio is a Professional actor and Drama Teacher with a background in
Improvisation and Devising. He works internationally across the public and private
sectors both as a facilitator and role-player for a wide range of organisations.
Charles is Artistic Director for Serio Ensemble an Arts Group that focuses on new
work and new techniques in performance. Many of the exercises in the Personal
Impact and Presentation workshop were developed over the years by Charles
working with professional actors. The aim was to find more effective ways to connect
and influence within improvisations and hence with other people.
In 1995 Charles began to take this type of approach in communication to a business
environment to much success. His gift is to bridge the gap between the artistic and
corporate environments. His exercises are designed to be effective whatever the
participant's working background.

Other Details:

group would not pose a problem. This workshop is also effective for those whose
native tongue is not English.
Course: Personal Impact and Presentation run by Charles Serio, Serio
Ensemble Arts Group
"I selected Personal Impact from Intellect's range of courses for my sales team to build
their effectiveness in meetings and presentations. It is by far the best use of training
budget I have experienced in my 20 year sales career.
Charles Serio, the trainer, and I met before the session for me to brief him on the
individuals in the team and for us to agree details of the course. It was obvious to me at
this meeting and during the training course that Charles certainly knows his stuff. The
content was absolutely spot on and he dealt with each attendee as an individual, each
with their own needs and development challenges.
From the moment Charles stood up to address the audience they were paying
attention like I have never seen a sales team do before, and they continued to do so for
the entire day. Forget anything you have seen before about such courses. There was
not a single PowerPoint slide all day; in fact there wasn't even a projector in the room.
The feedback from the delegates has been overwhelming and 100% positive. I had
people texting me on the journey home after the session personally thanking me for
arranging such a life improving event for them!
If you run a sales team and pay for one training course this year, make it Personal
Impact by Charles Serio.
