More than six months on, I still consider and share examples with colleagues about what I learned from that day at Impact Factory. Before this workshop, I would have been terrified to talk in front of just a few colleagues…I now speak confidently to large groups of people with ease.

What to do after

“It was incredibly helpful, fun, and I am starting to feel more confident when I have to talk in front of different audiences – of course, it will take some time, but I will get there.”

Francesca Peretti Legal Expert, Value Chains, Trade, and Investment - ClientEarth

I presented my research on insecure work to the Board of my organisation the week after the course. It went great!  There were many great points from the course that I put into practice (pausing etc). Overall, since I attended the course, I have felt increasingly confident in speaking, both in the context of presentations, but also during more informal conversations where I give an overview of my work, or my organisation’s work to external people. I have found the course incredibly helpful, and it was run in such a constructive and engaging way. You’re both fabulous instructors.

More than six months on, I still consider and share examples with colleagues about what I learned from that day at Impact Factory. Before this workshop, I would have been terrified to talk in front of just a few colleagues…I now speak confidently to large groups of people with ease.

Heidi Williams Senior Programme Officer - NHS Confederation

I did three presentations in the week after the course and used a number of the tools from the day. In particular, focusing on ‘the conversation’ and involving the audience allowing me to remove self-generated anxiety.
