Presentation Skills

The SDTAV provides coaching which assists individuals to speak with confidence and expression. This is taught by focusing on a number of communication skills including effective use of:
  • eye contact,
  • voice,
  • facial expression,
  • body language,
  • listening skills and
  • structure of content.
The development of these skills enables individuals to express themselves confidently and to connect with their audience.
Classes and workshops use a variety of theatre sport, communication games and public speaking exercises so that participants develop strong presentation skills. A life-skill critical to success in business.
