Reshape and OWN your Public Speaking

Shauna Macdonald and Paul Lambie will coach you on how RESHAPE how you approach public speaking.

Find your voice, own your performance, and learn to communicate with more confidence, presence and freedom.

Over two days, 10-5pm at Tribe Porty, we’ll use practical, playful and experiential exercises drawn from theatre, performance and communication to help you find what works for you.

You’ll learn tools to:

– Ground yourself in speaking situations and develop greater presence and power when you talk.

– Find and own your natural voice, while exploring its full potential through the 3 Ps: pitch, pause and pace.

– Get more comfortable with vulnerability and discover a different way of thinking about performance.

– Steal useful techniques from the world of theatre to engage, inspire and connect with an audience.

– Listen actively, so you can stay present, spontaneous and responsive rather than getting stuck in your head.

– Manage nerves by breaking down what you’re saying, shifting your focus towards the listener and connecting your voice to your intention.

– Use the MOTTO formula — a simple, repeatable structure for preparing and delivering yourself clearly in all sorts of speaking situations.

– Use your body and physical presence to support and strengthen your message.

– Recognise and get out of the habits that can sabotage your potential: self-doubt, overwhelm and confusion.

The aim isn’t to turn you into someone else.

It’s to help you become more comfortable, more present and more you when you speak.

Soup and refreshments are available each day.
