Drawing on a mix of discussion, creative exercises and reflection, this workshop is designed to develop the tools and strategies to see us through situations where we may not feel confident – from reading out loud to meetings to interviews.

By the time we leave we will have:

• A shared understanding of how stressful situations make us feel and act
• Understood how this is impacting on how we present ourselves
• Developed confidence in our ‘voice’ and what we want to say
• Practised using our strategies in different situations in a safe environment.
