About the day
This is practical, interactive course delivered in partnership between West Midlands Museum Development and ted Learning. The day will be facilitated by Paul Hargreaves, an expert communication skills trainer, and two professional actors. We’ll explore some theory of communication and influencing and focus on how to have maximum impact by ensuring your body language and voice are congruent with the message you’re trying to deliver.
Through lots of practical and interactive activities, you’ll explore which approaches are effective in different situations and what works best for you, your influencing style and the factors that motivate others, supporting you to develop a flexible approach and become a successful influencer.
