Most staff training doesn’t bring lasting change to how people communicate, so they feel disengaged.

Our proven drama based training helps people be confident in challenging presentations and conversations, so they are happier and more motivated.

Sessions range from 60 minutes to half or full days for individual participants, teams and/or groups.

Have you found that people aren't acting on their training?

  • Does your staff have impressive technical skills but are not strong managers and team leaders? In growing businesses, strong management and leadership skills are essential for staff retention.

  • Is giving presentations a top fear for your staff? Whether it’s presenting reports, giving client presentations, or sharing ideas in team meetings, poor presentation skills lose impact.

  • Do your leaders lack skills to provide essential feedback or face difficult conversations? Effective managers need to know how to communicate clearly and empower their teams, face to face or in virtual meetings.

  • Are your training models implemented? Experiential learning creates lasting change. Research shows that practice, with theory, results in improved behavior.

Corporate actors are experts in non-verbal communication, and will guide your staff with practice  to have more empathy, impact and influence at work.
