Personal Impact Masterclass
A one-day workshop to help you develop presence and charisma with theatre director Ron Aldridge
This very practical and interactive workshop is designed to help you develop your personal performance in any and every area of your business experience, whether you are communicating one-to-one, in front of a small group, or even 100 people or more.
At the highest level of personal communications we need to understand how we can ensure we achieve dynamism, passion and impact.
This workshop will help you
- Get noticed, stand out from the crowd and boost your public image
- Engage and motivate others —individuals and teams, in a peer, management or training
situation
- Get greater results influencing and persuading others
- Become an admired, attractive and charismatic leader
Who is it for?
Anyone who wants to have a more professional attitude and approach to managing their personal performance, and who would like to understand the physical skills, thought-processes and mental disciplines required to come across as confident and dynamic, ensuring that they have a high and consistent level of personal impact.
What can you expect?
Ron works with a small group of no more than 6 people to allow plenty of time and opportunity for individual focus, practice and feedback.
Each person will be given a set of skills covering 6 areas of “performance” both internal and external, physical and mental.
These skills can make an instant difference to the way you think, will help you overcome your fears, and will enable you to deliver your ‘message’ efficiently, professionally and very effectively.
The style is very interactive and participatory – discussions, questions, explanations, ‘mental’ exercises to understand the disciplines required, ‘physical’ exercises dealing with body-language and self-conscious behaviour, and ‘vocal’ exercises to help ensure positive vocal impact.
The 6 key areas Ron will deal with are:
- Presence and Charisma. These are not God-given gifts. They are a set of skills, both internal and external, that can be learnt and developed.
- The 4 ‘means of expression’ we use when we communicate with others. They are the words we use, the voice we use, facial expression, and body-language. For true communication to take place, all four of these means must give off the same message.
- Understand and be able to apply the 3 Professional Performing Techniques. The process of Explanation, the process of Speaking in a Major Key and the process of Externalising Emotion.
- The vital First 30 Seconds. Understand the need to create positive impact in the first 30 seconds. Understand what is happening to your audience during this initial appraisal, and understand what you need to do to immediately appear at ease, confident, and in control.
- Understand the ‘Responsibility’ of the performer. It is vital you understand the ‘relationship’ between performer and audience, and the ‘responsibility’ you have to yourself when performing.
- Understand The Ideal Performing State. The ideal when we are performing is that we are not thinking of ourselves, ensuring we are not exhibiting self-conscious behaviour. We must be self-aware, not self-conscious.
