17.01.2022 The UQ Professionals Network has a fantastic professional development opportunity available for all UQPN members!! This is a once off opportunity provided by another member who can no longer attend this SPEAKEASY 2-day public speaking workshop but does not want it to go to waste. Further details on the workshop are below and current members are encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) of up to 500 words including: - Why you want to do the course... - Relevance to your current position - How the course will benefit you personally and professionally - What you intend to do with the skills you learn Submissions should be made to [email protected] by 12pm on Friday 27 May 2016. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speakeasy is a highly acclaimed, fun, challenging, intense and incredibly effective 2-day workshop for a small group of current and emerging women leaders looking to speak with confidence, excellence and ease. It is a workshop for women who are smart, savvy and great at what they do, but know that they arent showing their full potential whenever they speak to a group whether it be to an audience of 2 or 200. Previous Speakeasy participants have been surprised and delighted at how quickly and dramatically their confidence and prowess have lifted. Speakeasy provides an incredibly safe and supportive environment with a focus on constant practice and feedback. All participants comment on the end result the ability to speak with confidence, excellence, authenticity and ease but also how much they enjoyed the two days. Speakeasy is fun, challenging and life-changing. Fears of speaking are released within hours, and the remainder of the workshop is spent transforming our participants into outstanding and authentic speakers. The workshop is due to take place in Brisbane over two days on Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 June 2016.
