The Art of Presentation: An
Introduction |
Do your knees get weak and/or do you get
that queasy feeling when you are going to speak or perform in front
of a group? Maybe you get that feeling when you know you are going
to a party or event. If so, you are like so many other people! Most
of us live in the old paradigm of performance, which has us
believing that great presentation is about wearing the right
clothes, doing the right things and saying the right things, in the
right way – and then if we do all that, our audiences will judge us
positively. Even for those of us who have learned to do all that and
have been performing all of our lives, we still may look at the
truly great performers we have seen and think, “How do they do
that?” or “I could never do that. I could never be that good.” The
truth is that you can! I enjoy introducing people of all ages to a
new experience of presentation/performing that is truly fun and
inspiring. Come and Play. |

Building Rapport & Credibility: An
Intro to Status Work |
We often have no idea how people see us,
why we can't seem to gain rapport with one co-worker or why we have
to fight for authority with others. It's easy to look "over there"
and see how some one else should change if they want to build
rapport or credibility with us, but it's not so easy when we turn
the mirror on ourselves. In this playful and gentle introductory
session we will discover, experiment with and finally, play with the
powerful tools of "status work". Status work, developed by Keith
Johnstone, was first employed as a method for teaching
improvisational theater actors how to create realistic scenes. In
recent years, his work has been co-opted by leading-edge trainers
and coaches to help people in business gain an understanding of
their impact on one another. This powerful work will change the way
you experience all of your interactions. Using a dynamic algorithm
called the I AM Model, you will be introduced to the nuts and bolts
of Intention and learn how and where to find solutions to some of
life’s most complex challenges. |

Healthy Aging Cycle |
The human body miraculously reproduces more
than 300 billion cells every day â?" thatâ?Ts tremendous potential
for regeneration. From birth to around age 30, those new cells grow
more resistant to disease and more robust than the cells they
replace. At about age 30, the body begins a transformation. The
production of new cells becomes less efficient and the cell quality
gradually deteriorates until about age 45, at which point the
deterioration process begins to accelerate. A sequence of
deterioration exists in the aging process, beginning with cosmetic
signs such as reduction in skin elasticity and hair loss,
progressing to delayed recovery from injuries, lowered resistance to
illness, and finally the life-sustaining functions of your major
organs. Understanding this process is key. |
