What if speaking with impact wasn’t about doing more, but about being more fully present?
On 22 October, the Hôtel Royal will host an exclusive ‘Speak Up’ workshop by Mélanie Freymond, dedicated to public speaking.
During this morning session in a small group setting, participants will be invited to explore everything that goes on beyond the words: presence, posture, voice, eye contact, intention, managing stage fright, the ability to connect with an audience, and conveying a message with clarity and authenticity.
The aim is not to learn to play a role or to replicate a standardised method, but to understand what makes each person unique and to develop a presence that reflects who they are. The workshop will alternate between practical guidance, exercises, role-plays and personalised support in an exclusive setting, conducive to concentration and discussion.
The morning will continue with lunch at the Hôtel Royal.
