EXECUTIVE PRESENCE
Babies and toddlers live there almost constantly. Great performers work in this state. Great athletes win in it. Great teachers teach in it. Every great communicator speaks from this place. It is when we are fully present that we do our best work and make our deepest impression on others.
Executive presence training is an investment in your current and future self. It is the gift that keeps on giving.
WHAT I OFFER:
2-hour workshop giving you the tools to explore your presence potential.

PRESENTATIONS & STORYTELLING
DRAMA! POWER, CONFLICT, HEROES, VILLAINS, QUESTS, UNDERDOGS, DARK DEEDS, WHITE STEEDS, AND AGAINST-THE-ODDS TRIUMPH!
Did you know that stories are 22 times more memorable than facts? Did you know that 90% of people daydream in meetings, creating stories in their heads?
Stories have been told for thousands of years. Instead of sharing facts about numeric outcomes, take your listeners on a journey that lets them see and feel what getting to the goal will be like for them. Stories don’t make you less professional; they make you more human.
WHAT I OFFER:
In this 2-hour workshop, learn how to create and deliver powerful, unforgettable presentations:
-
Storytelling: structures, hooks, imagery and engaging your audience
-
Dump the PPT (or use it with minimalistic skill)
-
Energise your voice with vocal skills eg: articulation, pause and pace, projection - and how breath supports a powerful voice
-
Stage fright - let's not pretend this doesn't exist, but there are ways to harness it
This workshop can be adapted to fit into a corporate training programme or role play day. I can also provide it as a series of 20-minute 'morning snacks' over the working week.
BENEFITS:

Drive change

Bring dry facts and figures to life

ABOUT ME
JOSIE CAMPBELL
BA (Hons) | MA | PGCE | FTCL
Following my first degree in Drama from the University of Bristol, I began my career with BBC radio, reporting live and producing a range of content for programmes across the north and north east. I have recorded several corporate, educational and creative voice-overs: I am the voice of Oxford Park and Ride and have narrated for giant of the music industry, Sami Yusuf on My Song.
As an actor, I have appeared in award-winning short films (e.g. Seen and Heard, Inner Eye Productions) and I tour internationally with my theatre company, Little Britches, playing Anne Hathaway in Vern Theissen’s ‘Shakespeare’s Will’. More recently, I directed Mike Bartlett’s ‘Bull’ in Dubai, using playground games and dark clown as inspiration. I am a Fellow of Trinity College London (Performing Speech and Drama) as well as a qualified and experienced Secondary English teacher.
In 2022, I went to back to (drama) school, completing my MA in Actor Training & Coaching at leading Conservatoire, the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London. My MA thesis centred on ‘presence’ in leadership training, an ongoing area of interest and expertise.
I frequently blend theatre techniques into my work, derived inspiration from theatre and voice practitioners such as Stanislavski, Michael Chekhov, Anne Bogart and Professor Patsy Rodenburg OBE (with whom I recently trained).
I am a member of British Actors Equity and Spotlight.
