As an academic it is important for you to speak so that others want to listen and to interact
confidently with a wide variety of professional colleagues; those your manage, your peers and
those in more elevated positions. Your work may be first rate but that doesn’t mean you always
get the ear of people who are above you in the hierarchy.
How can you develop a professional persona that is natural to you and helps you fulfil your
potential as a team member or leader? What are the qualities that give us an influential edge in
the workplace? This course looks at how to develop a stronger physical and vocal presence and
to be someone whom others want to listen.
This practical and enjoyable course will give you

clear insights into how to build your confidence.

successfully with others – including high-status individuals.
It will be good for your professional relationships and your career.
After the course, you’ll be able to get access to a course summary, follow-up material and the
VOX academy – an online repository of written guidance, lively videos and other resources to help
you extend your learning and take your communication skills to the next level.
