Two ways of working on confidence
When people have to communicate under pressure, how they present themselves and how they respond to that pressure both matter. We bring applied improvisation and business psychology together in one programme, with time to practise the tools in between sessions.
With Sarah McGillion, participants explore physical presence, voice, audience connection and staying responsive in the moment. They get to experiment with different approaches and see how those choices affect their communication.
With Birgitte Andersen, participants look at their responses to pressure and try ways to manage nerves, focus and stress when the stakes feel high.

What participants work on
How the programme works
Days 1 and 2 run consecutively. Participants then have time to use what they have tried at work before returning for Day 3, around a month later. At full capacity, two smaller groups rotate between Sarah and Birgitte over the course of each day.
With Sarah, participants explore their stage persona, physical presence, body language and voice. With Birgitte, they look at how the brain responds to pressure, including stress responses and the patterns that can affect how we communicate. They are introduced to tools for working with those responses.
Sarah focuses on the audience: making a connection, reading the room and adjusting how you communicate in the moment. Birgitte builds on the psychology from Day 1, helping participants develop a personal strategy for handling pressure and maintaining focus.
Around four weeks later, participants return with experience of using the tools at work. With Sarah, they practise and refine real professional presentations, with coaching and structured feedback. With Birgitte, they revisit their personal strategies, reflect on what has worked under pressure and explore what they might adjust going forward.
