Are you still doing 20th Century Presentations?
Some simple questions will give you a clue
- Do you believe that taking a few slow deep breaths will calm
your nerves?
- Are you trying to project your voice?
- Have you been taught to use eye contact?
- Have you been taught to use body language?
- Do you always use amplification?
- Do you stand on braced legs, knees locked back to meet your
challenges?
If the answer is "Yes" to all these your presentations,
your communication with colleagues and your professional persona
is not nearly as good as it could be.
However clever you are with power point, however many presentation
aids and 'tricks' you may have, the voice is the Number 1 professional
communicator of you, your skill and your passion for it. If you
are using all these 'nip and tuck' devices you are not getting the
best out of yourself.

"All the jobs I have ever had have involved communication-teacher
of modern languages, salesman and business owner. Throughout these
careers I was always comfortable speaking on a one to one basis
or in the "authority" position of teacher to pupil or
boss to employee. However,put me in a group of peers or strangers
or ask me to give a talk and I would either withdraw into myself
and avoid speaking out or prepare in advance by writing out in full
what I might need to say leading to very stilted and usually boring
speech. I went to Angela Caine to address this problem and I got
so much more than I bargained for: Free flowing speech and thought.
A better link between my thoughts and speech: the removal of the
fear of music created in me by a music teacher; an energy flow which
allows me to achieve without "trying hard", without strife
& anxiety; a physical body which was tight and tense in the
shoulders and legs became more flexible; the confidence to speak
in front of groups without the left brained preparation which had
previously led to such poor presentations; the energy, vitality
and confidence to continue to pursue my goals at a time of life
when many people are thinking of slowing down. Most importantly
the joyful discovery that I have a voice. I can sing and I enjoy
singing enormously."
