This workshop will explain components of communication and help you assess your communication style. You will understand how to make your image work for you and learn how to speak so others listen and, equally importantly, listen so others speak.You will walk away aware of communication etiquette and will feel and sound more and professional confident in any situation.

Our Facilitator

Robyn Pulman  |    Public speaking & presentation skills coach

“When you engage me to develop your speaking skills, you benefit from my extensive corporate experience in senior international marketing positions working throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa.”

I’ve spoken at dozens of conferences, run hundreds of workshops and helped thousands of people ‘find their voice’, refine their pitch, present their proposal, lead their team, present for impact and even make peace with their partner. When you engage me to develop your speaking skills, you benefit from my extensive corporate experience in senior international marketing positions working throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa. You also benefit from my business and personal coaching background extending more than twenty-five years – focusing on leadership, communication and personal mastery. I have also assisted a number of high performing IC members participating in the accelerator programs.
