Evaluate to motivate - Free workshop with a unique take, Join us on Tues 5 March

From Francois Potterie, LBS Public Speaking Club

Do you want to get better at: Impromptu speaking? Structuring your presentation? Giving feedback?

Then come to LBS Toastmasters Tuesday 5 March 7.30pm for a workshop run by Shane Snow MBA,  Ministerial Speechwriter – Department for Transport

The more effective we are in evaluating each other, the more each one of us will profit from the experience! This applies whether we are delivering a speech, evaluating or sitting in the audience.

This will be a highly interactive 90 minute workshop where participants will practice providing rapid feedback to speakers (prepared and impromptu). The aim will be to build confidence and self-esteem of participants by offering a simple to use model and system for structuring the presentation of feedback about a presentation to an audience. Vistors from other Toastmasters clubs will be most welcome.

Venue: Plowden Fairbairn Room, London Business School,  NW1 4SA (use Park Road entrance). Near Baker Street underground station.

Shane Snow has expertise leading and engaging individuals, teams and multi-sector stakeholders in new ways to make a bigger difference. He currently facilitates UK city transit authorities, cycling campaign groups and cross Whitehall stakeholders to produce a longer term ambition for more and safer cycling in the UK. Previous roles have included change management in the fastest downsizing UK Government Departments and the Private Secretary to the Minister for Transport and Minister for London.
