Confidence - One Small, Powerful Move at a Time with Jon Torrens

Speaking in front of a group can be hard. You need tools to create concise, engaging material and then deliver it in a way that looks confident, grabs your audience's attention and keeps it until the very end.

In this engaging session, Jon will give tips on how to:

• Communicate authentically and assertively
• Show confidence and control your nerves
• Write rich, concise material
• Use stories to breathe life into the information
• Engage the audience and keep their attention

Speaker:
Jon Torrens worked as a designer (and experienced the joy of deadlines) at games companies including Sony and Electronic Arts, and as a professional stand-up comic for a few years, so he knows how to engage and motivate. Occasionally he can be funny too.
Now, as a coach and speaker, he teaches effective communication, using his personal skills to both show and tell. He delivers training for a range of clients in London and Cambridge, including Foster + Partners, Redgate, Microsoft Research, Creative Assembly and Cambridge University.
Unique insights from the worlds of computer game design and stand-up comedy enable even the most introverted of his clients to deliver presentations that delight and motivate their audiences.
'Once in a generation, someone comes along who changes everything. Jon Torrens is not that person, but he met them once and tried to wow them with his Alec Guinness impression.'
