Take the Floor – Find our more and sign up!
What’s on offer?
- Communication and Presentation skills led by Amy Golding, that will help you enhance your ability to communicate ideas clearly, engage diverse audiences, and contribute with impact and confidence in meetings and when giving presentations.
- Facilitating and chairing meetings led by Emma Haughton. This practical one-day workshop is designed to build confidence and develop your skills in generating effective dialogue, ideas and decision making with groups of people. This is not just facilitation training but developing your strength in working effectively with others. You can apply this to leading and/or chairing group meetings, workshops and other collaborative events or processes.
Who’s it for?
Take the Floor courses are available to those working in cultural organisations in Tees Valley, particularly those who are regularly required to step in or represent an organisation on behalf of their senior manager / CEO, or who are ready to take on greater responsibility in presenting on behalf of their team. You are invited to nominate yourself or other members of your team (up to two per organisation) who would benefit from developing these skills. By investing in their professional growth, managers can strengthen their teams’ capability and share opportunities for visibility and leadership more widely.
