Trainer Profile
Kay Cadell
Typical delegates on this course are fairly comfortable speaking in public and are looking to fine tune or build on their existing skills. And regardless of seniority, people still come with the classic questions such as “how do I deal with my nerves?” and “how can I be more concise and stop waffling?”.
So using a series of discussions and practical exercises combined with a good dose of honest feedback, I will challenge you to learn some new techniques and make sure your foundations in public speaking are solid.
