Present Yourself Workshop

In our session together, participants will learn how to connect with an audience in an authentic and present way. We will focus on developing communication skills through proper execution of the voice. We will target pacing, rhythm, dynamics, pitch, resonance, articulation, projection, and breathing techniques. Furthermore, we will unpack nonverbal communication and give you tools to present yourself as confident and engaging. We will also analyze the storytelling tactics that make a presentation memorable. Ultimately, our goal is to develop confident business communication and a greater sense of awareness so participants can apply the techniques to any presentation and situation.

I would rate it as one of the best communication workshops that I have attended in recent years.

Swiss RE, Zürich

Thank you once again for contributing to the overall success of our corporate event concept. We were delighted to experience  you in action. The resonance from the team was overwhelmingly positive and everyone enjoyed the evening and the activities.

Alexander Peter

ARROWRESOURCES AG

Our team event this year was so much fun! The Close Encounters Theatre group were amazing and very entertaining but behind that was a key message of letting go of inhibitions and not being afraid of failure. In one hour we laughed more than I can remember, with a performance that was personalised to us as an audience.

Deloitte, Zürich

It is hard to grasp the close connection of improv and business at first sight. It does not matter how prepared you are for a presentation - if you cannot bring your message across in an engaging and encouraging way - it was all for nothing!

Robert Marx

Senior Client

Project Manager 

The improv class was an eye-opening experience! It gave me the foundations to improve my presentation skills, my confidence in public speaking and the ability to manage emotions when I’m on the spot. On top of this, it was a very fun activity!

I highly recommend Tara Brodin’s workshop to any organization seeking to elevate their team's communication and interpersonal skills.

Tara designed and led the perfect workshop for us. It was inspirational, provoked a lot of deep thinking about leadership presence and helped build concrete skills. Most importantly, it was a lot of fun and a wonderful chance for our group to connect and understand each other at a deeper level. I can’t wait to work with Tara again!

Michelle Grant

The IBM improv class was an incredible experience for all the participants.  Tara is a great teacher - with her positive and professional approach she allowed us to move out of our comfort zone whilst having fun!

Before Tara's improvisation class, I

was nervous giving presentations.

Now, I feel confident

and comfortable in front of an audience!
