DELIVERING A CONFIDENT PERFORMANCE


CONTENT & PERFORMANCE

This course is for authors keen to improve their energy, confidence and clarity when speaking at literary events or to the media.

This works brilliantly as a one-to-one coaching or group session. This interactive session provides practical, take-home skills that authors are able to employ before and during their public appearances.

 

The key components of this course are:

  • Mastering warm-up exercises to improve your event stamina

  • Boosting your vocal power – how to protect and project your voice

  • Connecting with your audience – while you’re talking and when reading from your book

  • Understanding your physicality to engage your audience and own the stage

GROUP TRAINING

This offers focused training on a key topic over a full day. It’s a terrific way to demonstrate author care, showing your authors strong, practical support from their publisher. And it provides an opportunity for your authors to share their experiences and to learn from each other as well as from the trainers.

1:2:1 COACHING

Individual coaching sessions are tailored to match the needs of a particular author and are perfect for when you need fast response training. Focusing on one author allows our trainers to provide lots of targeted help. We will marry up the industry expertise of our trainers with the specific needs of your authors to ensure that they get the most out of the session.

YOUR TRAINING INVESTMENT

Getting the most out of your learning outcomes

We use training best practice to evaluate the ways in which learning changes perceptions, attitudes, knowledge and skills.

PRE-COURSE ASSESSMENT

A pre-course assessment form will be provided to the attendees to determine any learning or mobility issues that our trainers need to consider.

POST COURSE EVALUATION

A post-course questionnaire is completed following the session to evaluate if their learning objectives for the course were met.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT REPORTING

A follow up evaluation, typically six weeks after the course, will be conducted with the attendees – to measure how they are putting the knowledge gained from the course into practice.

Huge thanks to AuthorProfile for making it all make sense.”
