  Workshop: Communication skills for lawyers - executive presence master class

  ACT Law Society Training Room

  Half the battle with communicating confidently is actually feeling confident and managing to exude that confidence. This is not always easy. This unique half day workshop is designed to teach lawyers how to communicate powerfully and with confidence. Barbara Robertson is one of Sydney’s best presentation trainers. Unlike other training which starts and finishes with content, the focus of Barbara’s training is on the body, because it is personal impact which people remember. She uses the Alexander Technique to help develop an awareness of how we think, move and feel in our daily activities. This workshop will benefit all lawyers.
