‘Think Like an Actor’ is a communications skills development programme, from Awaken Communications, designed to help your people build better stakeholder connections.

Why?

The actor’s primary objective is to build a connection with an audience. They train for years in order to be able to do this.
Commercial and not-for-profits thrive on the ability of their employees to build connections with their stakeholders. Our programme is based on key acting principles where delegates experience the power of performance.

Result: your team members are better able to adapt, remain calm, talk confidently, open up and read an audience.

Each session follows the tried and tested formula of theory, demonstration and practice. The programme is fuly interactive and above all, it’s fun! Session Overview:
