Feedback From The Day: “The practical activities were engaging and insightful. I loved having practical takeaways to utilise after”.
Those in attendance, were coached using theory, practical and interactive skill building elements on how to identify their preferred communication and learning styles. These elements allowed participants to understand their strengths and growth areas when it comes to speaking in public. Special guest and former Premier the Hon. Peter Gutwein shared his own public speaking journey and the tools he used to overcome that fear.
“I enjoyed the interaction and learning new things about myself”.
“It was so amazing to understand my own strength and to focus on further developing areas I am not comfortable with”.
