Speak & BE HEARD – How to become a better presenter.

Following the sold-out success of Colleen's first workshop, FERN & EL LIVING are pleased to offer it again for those who missed it last time!

What to Expect:
This engaging, 2-hour interactive program is led by Colleen Sullivan Grant, a former Facebook executive and seasoned and passionate presenter. Whether you struggle to quickly explain what you do for a living, or want to be more effective in business meetings, you will find the confidence and skills needed to better articulate to groups of any size, and gain the tools and practice to make your voice heard.

General Timing:
(9:30-10:30) Power Yoga to get us ready (optional)*
(10:30-11:00) Breakfast buffet & networking*
(11:00-13:00) "Be Heard" workshop with Colleen Sullivan Grant

*Kindly arrive 10 minutes early, so we can start on time

Workshop Agenda:
(11:00) Check-in & intros
(11:30) Own Your Voice: Learn how to confidently bring your authentic self to any interaction
(12:15) Build Your Story: It's not what you say, it’s what they hear. Learn how to prioritize content and read a room so your message isn't lost
(12:45) Check-out & takeaways
(13:00) Event ends, stay to network or co-work as long as you want

We will incorporate a variety of tools & techniques, including:

• Partner breakouts, and group sharing for practice
• Skills such as timing, body language, volume, and articulating
• Building confidence and managing nerves, “fake it ‘till you make it”
• Exercise on how you want to be perceived by your audience

If you're challenged by speaking in public — or are looking to be more confident, impactful and concise when you speak — then this workshop is for you! And if the thought of speaking in front of a group scares you, don’t worry, you're in a safe space and most certainly not alone :-)
