Dorotea's Welcome Video (1:55min)
Since 2020, we have all been thrust into an intensive pace of digital interactions in a whirlwind of virtual exchanges of all kinds and formats. Unaware, we are all at risk, in periods, of losing the human touch, the emotional intelligence, the spontaneity and even the humour that emerge naturally when we are interacting face to face.
Why bother to go to all the trouble of adopting new behaviours and reflexes? Because digital interaction and cooperation are here to stay in one form or another, and your impact as a person, as a professional, as a co-worker, as a leader will be drastically different depending on your efforts.

“…Connect-Presentations took my skills to an entirely new level. The program’s focus on emotional intelligence and adaptability helped me engage my audience like never before!” -Alex, Senior Marketing Strategist
How do I engage and stimulate my audience to think, connect and take action?
For seasoned presenters (Advanced level) who want to feel a sense of connectedness and spontaneity while engaging and interacting with an audience they cannot see.
Method PREPARED ®, enables you to truly connect with your remote/hybrid audience, facilitating engagement and achieving the mastery of conversing/interacting with them with emotional intelligence.
The end goal is for you to learn how to adapt your delivery on the go, being able to present with flexibility, responding to the current needs of your audience, dancing with different degrees of receptivity and with the unexpected.
The complete program takes a time investment of approximately 6-9 hours and is organized in three modules which can be taken independently or successively, according to which specific area(s) you need support with.
(Preparation works best when spread over several weeks, letting your unconscious work in the backstage mode to then give you creative suggestions…)

The program works equally well to prepare presentations that you will deliver in person, virtually or during a hybrid meeting.
