WISH Programme Learn the Art of Presenting with Tracey McEachran

The Art of Presenting - Would you like to be a stronger presenter?

The Art of Presenting

Would you like to be a stronger presenter?

Do you utter the words "no thank you" when someone asks you to present?

Or would you like people to think "she is a natural" every time you do get up on your feet to share your thoughts and ideas?

Then come February we shall be running an online programme that is designed for you.

We know from feedback from WISH members and board members that many women find it hard to be heard and many decline opportunities to speak or deliver presentation from lack of confidence or self-belief. The ability to speak in public is an essential leadership skill, but done well it is also an incredible boost to self-belief and confidence which allows women to share their wisdom and talents in the world.

We wanted to offer our members an affordable online programme that will help them find their voice whether that is in an internal or external meeting or presentation. The programme aims to provide participants with the knowledge and build a mind- set that enables them to deliver a compelling presentation that is memorable.

This is an online programme via Zoom.

Here is an overview of each of the 4 sessions :

Theme: My internal stories and the power of stories to engage.

In week one we examine what gets in the way of us speaking up or presenting with confidence. We look at mind-set and experiences that have facilitate positive and negative thoughts.

Here is what others have said about the programme.

“The Art of Presenting training was one of the most rewarding and beneficial training classes I’ve ever taken. I was amazed at the transformation in myself. Tracey makes you feel incredibly comfortable and at ease. She did an outstanding job and this is outstanding training. This was a life-changing experience for me and I highly recommend Art of presenting training.”

Filipa Baptista, Equality Diversity and Inclusion Officer at Homes for Lambeth

“The Art of Presenting’ course with Tracey was absolutely brilliant. She gave us really useful tools to use when presenting but also encouraged us to connect with ourselves and our own voices. The interaction she facilitated between the group is also something I’ll take with me. I’ve learned so much!”

Hélia Ramos, Associate Architect at Stephen Davy Peter Smith Architects
