THE CLINIC

The session concludes with a presentation clinic in which participants practice and role play a presentation and get feedback and guidance on areas for growth and improvement.

For the clinic, participants should have prepared for the session a presentation that they will be able to perform. This presentation should last no more than 2 mins, and not use any accompanying slides.

WORKSHOP FORMAT

Dave leads with a gentle and warm, yet strong style in order to facilitate shared discussion, performance practice and new learning.

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE WEB

Please note that there may be a photographer taking pictures of me and also of the group. These images will likely be posted online, and used for promotional purposes. Coming along to this workshop means being okay with this.
