Event details
Why do some people command attention the moment they enter a room?
Confidence isn’t just something people see. It’s something people experience.
How do you become someone people instinctively listen to?
In this highly interactive masterclass, leadership specialists Dave Morris and Rich Horton of Zentano and international opera singer and communication specialist Aidan Smith combine psychology, performance science and practical experience to explore confidence from the inside out.
Combining Zentano’s Confidence Compass framework with techniques developed in elite performance, we’ll explore how what happens internally shapes what others experience externally and how both can be developed intentionally.
Together we’ll explore:
- why confidence isn’t something you’re born with
• how pressure changes the way we communicate
• practical techniques performers use to stay calm and present
• how your voice shapes the way others experience you
• simple tools you can use immediately in meetings, presentations and difficult conversations
Expect discussion.
Expect participation.
Expect to leave with practical techniques you can start using immediately.
