PREMIUM COURSE: 5 Interactive Modules (8 Sessions each) + 5 individual Skype consultations*

Congratulations on choosing the Premium option of The Stylised Version of You®

This option gives you all the features of the Standard option - and a lot more. It is more personalised and tailored just for you - and includes scheduled one-to-one Skype sessions with Dr Christiaan Willems.


There is simply no escape.Online communicationis crucial.


Being comfortable, confident and credible with who you are as a business presenter - particularly on screen - has become a major professional development challenge, no more so than for the CEO or Executive who represent the online 'face' of an organisation. However, taking time out of hectic schedules to attend professional development workshops is often not possible for the busy CEO.


Well here is your opportunity.

This fully online, interactive course gives you - the CEO; the Board Director; the Executive - the opportunity to explore, in private and in your own time, both your 'live' and on-screen presenting self.


Yes, it's all about You.


Overview:

The program consists of 5 Modules (weekly) comprised of 8 Sessions each, covering a wide range of presenting situations and contexts. The most intensive - and arguably the most challenging - will be the on-camera sessions.

Initial Modules (1 & 2) are all about You - finding your own unique individual presenting style and personality. Then we consolidate and contextualise that in Module 3, briefly examining presenting spaces and venues, and how to 'take command' of those.

Each Session contains Tips & Take-outs summarising the content, as well as a series of Tasks for you to complete as we move through the curriculum. There is also the opportunity for you to submit and share your thoughts, ideas, and reflections via the Discussion Board - Your Space (at each Module's Session 7).

Note:The Premium option provides you with five (5) one-to-one Skype sessions with course facilitator, Dr Christiaan (Chris) Willems, scheduled at suitably negotiated times.


The latter Modules (4 & 5) are designed specifically to build upon your increased self-awareness, confidence and presenting style developed in the initial sessions - taking you confidently and credibly into the virtual business world through on-camera exercises and challenges. (An additional week is built in to the on-camera sessions to accommodate increased workload).

You will develop fluency in your 'visual vocabulary'; increase your on-camera confidence, and significantly enhance your professional credibility.

Enjoy it!
