4 Day Retreat
Transformational Speaking Retreat For Women
Our Retreat is an exclusive working-holiday for busy women. Let’s face it – if you are finally going to learn public speaking and find your authentic voice, you may as well do it in comfort, style and beauty. Our Retreat is ideal for professionals who need to address a long-standing issue holding their career or life back – the ability to speak with ease and authenticity in public.
Whenever you have a conversation with anyone other than yourself, you are "public speaking". The term is not restricted to giving formal speeches upon stage. It covers every kind of speaking and connecting situation you have with other human beings.
As a professional, you are a role-model for your work. Being able to articulate with presence, ease and authenticity who you are and what you stand for, allows you to stay in your integrity, whether with one on one or with a group.
Make this the year to free your inner public speaker. Press the "Pause Button" and let her out to play at this exclusive working holiday. Be prepared to emerge radiant from your chrysalis, not shrinking, but seeking, public speaking opportunities. A whole new world is about to open up for you.
" Not only did I learn about public speaking, I learnt about myself. "
RETREAT PARTICIPANT
You will learn:
- The transformational technique of speaking one-to-one and one-to-many.
- The gracious art of speaking with a natural ease & authenticity.
- Discover and refine your unique voice and message.
- How to promote yourself without the "hard sell".
- How to structure a compelling speech that’s seen, heard and remembered.
The retreat is ideal for women who are:
- Nervous speakers held back by fear.
- Reasonable speakers who want to enjoy it more.
- Confident speakers who wish to improve specific areas.
- Polished speakers looking for greater depth and connection.
And who are struggling with:
- Trembling knees and a voice saying "You are not good enough".
- Standing your ground, saying "no" and negotiating agreements.
- Having something to say... but lacking the skill and confidence to say it well.
- Hiding behind a stiff, polished exterior and desperately wanting real connection.
- A lack of inner calm and confidence to dip into and replenish at will.
Our Retreat allows participants to work on their inner life, so their outer life is one worth living.
