PRESENTATION SKILLS WITH THE FELLOWSHIP’S PAST FELLOWSHIP CHAIR SIMON SHAW
Simon Shaw, Simon Shaw Education, mentored the ClubStar Art Team during their recent session on the art of Presentation Skills.
Ahead of the team day, the team had to prepare a mood board and mannequin head and then present the mood board and mannequin together. They also had to bring an item that inspires them (not their phone)! As well as learning the words from a song or poem.
Simon Shaw comments: “My first ever involvement back in 2009 was with the ClubStar project, so the ClubStar Art Team is close to my heart. It was great seeing all the art team develop their skills and confidence during the day. They were a pleasure to work with, special thanks to project leader, Karoliina Saunders who provided her Academy and great hospitality.”
Jack Anthony comments: “Yesterday was great! Really inspiring. Simon taught us so much, but I think the main thing I took away from the session was how just changing your stance and body language during a presentation can completely change the way an audience perceives you!”
Darcey Clarke comments: “I loved our day with Simon! It was super helpful what he taught us, with a direct approach and didn’t sugar coat anything! I came away with really helpful tips to make my presentation on stage the best it can be.”
Lizzie Williams summed the day up: “Simon’s approach to presenting was direct and honest and made you think beyond how you were presenting. He gave an insight into the why’s and how to overcome issues found when presenting, making for an extremely valuable team day with lots of food for thought!”
