Join us to elevate your presentation skills in a quest that’s more of an adventure than just a talk. ‘The Actor’s Approach To Public Speaking’ is an immersive experience led by Nicholas Atkinson, an award-winning actor and founder of Punch Presentations.

Combining his theatrical and corporate facilitation skills, Nicholas will guide you through a unique TEDxTinhau Women Quest that explores the inspiring story of a child afraid of the spotlight, setting the stage for your own growth.

As the story unfolds, you’ll become part of the performance, not just an observer. Together, you’ll explore creative ways to find and express your voice—starting from understanding what you want to say, then crafting compelling messages using familiar plots. You’ll help the room discover its voice and embody different physical styles, culminating in a collective ‘happening’ that will leave you inspired, connected, and confident to take your place on any stage.
