What can you do to appear natural and relaxed to enhance your credibility in your professional and personal life? Do you know the boundaries of your "comfort zone" and work with them consciously?
Do you know the difference between "natural charisma" and "constructed image"?
Do you know how you appear - at first glance - to strangers and how you can influence this?
Do you want to feel free and relaxed in your body (no matter what you look like...)?
If you're interested in the answer to any of these questions and more, come for inspiration on how to learn to control the disturbing elements of your inner feelings in outward expression in stressful situations. Actress Kateřina Janečková is coming back to Olomouc and thanks to her unique method she will show you how the body and mind can work together harmoniously and become a full-fledged tool for natural and relaxed performance, which will keep the attention of the audience and strengthen the credibility of your speech.
You will find that effort and insecurity = cramp. How we are or how we feel/perceive ourselves in different environments may not be the same as how we interact with unfamiliar surroundings. Whether you are an actor, work in a leadership position, or are just interested in personal development... up to 90% of our (natural) communication is accomplished through the perception of body language.
During the evening, you will get advice and tips from a professional actress who has combined her vast experience in the world of acting and personal development into a unique teaching method. Her strength is not only in her theoretical understanding of the topics, but through the possibility of personal experience, she offers a conscious grasp of them that will take your communication and confidence to a new level.
