JUST LAUNCHED...
Strategic Speaking is an online four-week course (part-time) for new and aspiring leaders. It teaches participants how to craft and deliver impactful presentations that get results.
The course culminates in an in-person TED-esque event where participants will deliver the presentation they've been working on for the duration of the course, in front of friends and family.
Stop expending unnecessary amounts of time, energy, and stress creating mediocre, forgettable presentations. Learn the Strategic Speaking System and speak with impact.
I’ve always been happy to stand up and speak in front of an audience, but I wanted to know how to do it better and with more confidence. The online course was everything I wanted it to be. Comprehensive, supportive and flexible. Thank you for your encouragement, knowledge and empathy Miriam. If you suffer from self-doubt around public speaking, then I encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and put that doubt to rest!

Salary negotiations - Heads I win, tails you lose.
What if I said you could pick up $5,000 in five minutes?
You can. It’s called salary negotiation, and too many people suck at it.
There’s no need to shy away from salary negotiations. Here’s why:

ONLINE VC Workshop
Level: Beginner - Intermediate
A one-hour online presentation workshop that teaches the fundamental principles of effective communication via video conference.
With ‘working from home’ now a standard practice for many businesses, employees across a wide range of industries are now required to communicate via platforms such as Zoom, Skype and Microsoft Teams, as a substitute for face to face communication.
Although convenient, these technologies give rise to challenges—it can be harder to connect with the people we’re communicating with, the environment is less immersive, and the impact can be limited.
In order to compensate for these limitations, clear and confident communication is more important than ever.
To help you overcome these changes, Naked Audience has launched an online presentation workshop that teaches the fundamental principles of effective communication via video conference.
At the end of the workshop, you will understand how to:
-
Run an effective, purpose-driven and engaging online meeting
-
Communicate clearly and confidently
-
Incorporate practical techniques to overcome challenges of online communication
-
Avoid the common (and often detrimental) mistakes of video conference
-
Maximise impact and online presence as a speaker
Naked Audience recently delivered a three-part online workshop for various levels of client-facing staff across Publicis Groupe in Australia and New Zealand. We had approximately 50 people attend from across our different creative and media agencies. The engagement during the workshop was excellent and the feedback we have received has been positive. This was a case of "How do you get the basic things right and its really quite simple!" and it was delivered expertly. Thank you so much for the sessions. Simple, clear and effective sessions. We will definitely engage Miriam again to deepen our skills in this very relevant area of communication.

One-on-One Coaching
Level: Intermediate - Advanced
One-on-one sessions for middle to upper management.
Session frequency and the content will depend on the specific presentation the individual is working towards.
As a busy executive, I have been increasingly expected to present and speak in public. It has become a key skill execs in this day and age need to have. I chose to seek out who was best qualified to help improve my skills and decided to engage Miriam from Naked Audience for one on one personal professional coaching. It's been an incredibly positive and rewarding experience with Miriam providing tailored structured feedback and advice that has honed in on key areas of improvement in a professional non-confrontational way. I highly recommend Miriam to others who may be time poor and need focussed and professional guidance to get the best results for them. Amongst a myriad of options for ongoing development being a great communicator and presenter should be a priority for those looking to develop professionally for their careers and personally.
