Synopsis: Does the thought of speaking in public make your throat tighten up? Maybe you sit in meetings wishing to raise your point but the gut wrenching feeling of failure stops you? Well don’t worry, Kathy from Kathy Brooke Coaching (inventive hey?) is here to guide you through every step of the way. In this coaching session, not only will we explore where this fear comes from, but we are going to look at how we can overcome this using techniques and exercises that you can get involved in right away! Once you are ready to push your boundaries, we will add the icing on the cake, with some voice, breath and diction exercises to make sure every single person hears what you have to say! Bring a pen and paper, a brew and an open mind….and we are good to go! See you there!
