“Confidence and authority in public speaking”
For the longest time I prized the mind over the body. The body was just the meat that kept the brain safe. Doing the Body Language and Body Confidence course led by Luke gave me a new appreciation of the role of the body in giving confidence and authority in public speaking. I wanted the benefits I perceived from that one day course to become more embodied, more enduring, so I signed up for the Rolfing ‘ten series’. The results are both simple and profound: access to a more grounded stance when speaking in public, heightened energy levels, improved deep breathing, but also alleviation of chronic aches and pains that were the consequence of poor body posture. I’ve also come away with a toolkit of techniques to continue the integration of body and mind.
