What is the course about?

This is a one-day workshop allowing your imagination free range, connecting your voice to your body and using them to express yourself in a organic and interesting way.

Motivate and inspire others within the workplace through the art of telling a story.
Recognise the impact that story-telling can make in business presentations and training sessions.

• Take course notes for your own use.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
