Public Presence

How you behave and communicate both verbally and non-verbally (conscious and subconscious) within social interactions creates your overall public presence. Some social interactions may foster a more positive presence than others and new or infrequent social interactions can be daunting.

We are all different and our behaviours in social situations are completely personal. These situations may at times result in unwanted behaviours or an inability to do the things that we want to do. Self-awareness is key to understanding, monitoring and enhancing positive presence in all social situations. Through individual coaching and using the Hot Cross Bun model, widely used by counselling practitioners, we find patterns and triggers which can help change those unwanted responses.

We may all face new or infrequent social situations which may unnerve us, such as: media or job interviews, public speaking, networking, negotiation, persuasion etc. Our workshops, peripatetic teaching, and evidence based development programmes are designed to give you understanding, awareness and experience in preparation for these situations.

The evidence shows that these skills are vital for young people. We can help prepare them for their futures by offering development in areas such as: interview coaching, public speaking, personal impact, assertiveness, informal business conversation etc. These may take the form of stand-alone workshops, individual and group coaching, or peripatetic lessons following NEA, Trinity or LAMDA communication syllabuses.
