A (future) professional must be able to present himself convincingly. Whether a presentation succeeds depends as much on the content of your argument as on the way you communicate the message. In this course, we will look at your choice of words, your posture and movement, your appearance and the use of your voice.
Method
When it comes to working with empathy, charisma and expression, theatrical methods can be an important tool to train these.
In teaching you these methods, we will focus on:
• Attitude / Posture
• Use of voice
• Mimic
• Supporting expressive gestures
• Making (eye) contact
• Listening to your audience
• Construction of a good story
• Making your story vivid
• Using language the audience understands
• Appearance
• Dealing with stressful situations
The theatrical exercises are taught in groups, with a focus on the individual.
During the course, we will work towards a final presentation to be held at one of the Beta Breakfasts here at betahaus. If you have planned a presentation in the near future, you can use this course to prepare for it. If possible, the course holder will be present at the final presentation to give feedback.
There is no right or wrong in this course, the focus is on your own way of presentation. We start with your skills and teach you how to put them into action. In order to achieve this, we work with exercises that are derived from theater. By exercising yourself and watching other participants, you get a clear picture of how you come across and which way of presenting suits you.
- Day 1: Introduction | making contact | feedback rules
- Day 2: Making it personal | creating a personal connection to your story
- Day 3: Story telling | working on making a story vivid.
- Day 4: Fear. A lot of us are afraid to talk in front of groups. We'll work on the confrontation of these fears
- Day 5: How to prepare for a presentation
- Day 6: The master presentation
