Shannon Polly Presents Webinar, “Present Like a Rock Star”
Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 22, 2014 -- Positive Business DC (PBDC) announced today that Shannon Polly will lead a webinar on teaching tangible techniques and exercises that help people cultivate presence. The hour-long https://www..gotomeeting.com/register/440123527 [webinar __title__ ] will also include information on what science is telling us about presence. Shannon Polly brings both her expertise as a professional actor, playwright and Broadway producer and her background in positive psychology as a teacher, facilitator and coach to this somatic approach to well-being and thriving.
“It’s a common myth that you either have ‘executive presence’ – that essence that helps you to command a room – or you don’t," says Polly, “but that is simply not true. As an actor, I know there are tricks and techniques, and as a Positive Psychology Expert, I also know that different postures help cultivate confidence and well-being.”
The webinar, slated for May 28th at 1pm EST, is the tenth event sponsored by PBDC to increase well-being in the workforce. The organization’s events are both live and online and the Meetup now has almost 500 members.
“I met Shannon with a lot executive experience under my belt, but felt I wasn’t really able to effectively engage an audience,” said Angela Lee, manager at McKinsey and a client of Polly’s “but now, I feel I can manage my nerves and command a room. And I was surprised that there were some tactics and tricks that made a difference immediately.”
Registration for the “Present Like a Rock Star” webinar is free and open to all who are interested.
