Following the success of two recent workshops led by local poets, Award-winning spoken word group Empoword will welcome guest speaker Sumit Sharma (@SpreadWisdomUK) to deliver a Stage Presence workshop as part of an upskilling programme for Slough creatives.
Former Toastmasters’ president and public speaking coach Sumit Sharma said: “the workshop seeks to increase the confidence of attendees through impromptu speaking activities and public speaking exercises”.
He will be sharing the art of eloquent oration and tips and tricks on how to own the stage, to help local poets with their nerves and confidence when representing Slough on national poetry platforms.
