Public Speaking
Training: Become a Confident and Charismatic Speaker with the Catherine Gillet Method
Speaking with Ease
There aren't a thousand ways to speak in public, but two: Imitating by pretending, which remains superficial and lacks sincerity. Truly living your speech, investing your energy, emotions, and personality into it.
The Catherine Gillet method favors the latter, enabling you to connect with yourself and your audience, overcome your fears, and discover the joy of communication.
Whether during a job interview, an important meeting, or a public presentation, the ability to express oneself in front of an audience has become essential in professional and personal life. However, for many, speaking in front of others can evoke a multitude of emotions: stage fright, lack of confidence, a feeling of vulnerability. The good news? There is a method accessible to everyone to transform public speaking into a positive, enriching, and even enjoyable experience.
The Catherine Gillet Method: 30 Years of Experience at the Service of Your Voice
With over thirty years of experience on stage and in actor training, Catherine Gillet has designed an exclusive method combining classical acting and professional one-man show techniques, the tools of synergology (the interpretation of body language), mindfulness for managing stage fright and emotions, and benevolent communication for quick wit.
This innovative approach does not offer "miracle solutions"; it invites you to fully experience your presentations, to embody your speech to connect with your audience and leave an authentic, positive, and lasting impression.
Skills to Acquire to Become an Accomplished Speaker
Becoming a good speaker is, above all, about enjoying communication, conveying a clear and convincing message, and developing a presence that inspires confidence. To achieve this, several aspects need to be addressed:
- Diction and Articulation: Well-pronounced words and a calm, warm voice facilitate audience comprehension and engagement.
- Breathing and Breath Management: Controlled breathing helps channel stage fright and strengthen the voice.
- Non-verbal Communication: Gestures, posture, gaze... The body speaks as much as words and helps convey your intentions.
- Expression and Rhythm: Knowing how to modulate one's speech, vary tone and rhythm to maintain interest and dynamism.
- Conviction and Adaptability: Believing in one's message, adapting to one's audience and situation to remain relevant and powerful.
Self-Confidence, the Driving Force of Communication
Cultivating self-confidence is an exciting personal development journey. Our training helps you to:
- Understand and accept the emotions that arise during public speaking
- Manage stage fright constructively through mindfulness techniques
- Develop self-compassion and humor, to transform stress into positive energy
- Dare to be charismatic and authentic, to make a lasting impression
- Adapt your communication to your audience's reactions and emotions
Whatever your profile, the Catherine Gillet method guides you towards confident and inspiring public speaking.

What you will discover:
- How to overcome stage fright and use your emotions to your advantage

Objectives:
Description: this program is unique in its approach. It is structured in three successive phases. The first consists of providing clarity to participants about their qualities through a preliminary assessment center. This assessment not only creates team dynamics but also clarifies the characteristics of each individual. The second is the course itself. The third offers individual coaching to provide the opportunity to transfer acquired knowledge and implement decided actions

The Fundamentals of Appreciative Inquiry
For whom: all individuals supporting change in companies, coaches, mediators, or conflict management specialists, and all those who choose to lead their lives in a positive and empowering way.
Course objective: Appreciative Inquiry is a change management method that differs from the classic problem-solving approach. It allows us to focus our attention on positive energies such as our talents, strengths, successes, and dreams or aspirations (what is meaningful to us). The starting point for this positive change is "what works." We thus move away from the "problem-solving" paradigm (identifying problems, analyzing causes, choosing solutions, action plans) to embrace that of vision and the co-creation of an ideal future (deciding on a positive project, appreciating what is, imagining what could be, determining what should be, and creating what will be). Following the model of the 5 Ds:

Day 1: main theoretical contributions, models, and definitions. Definition of a common introductory project and initial practice of appreciative interviews
Day 2 : introduction to the "Lego Serious Play". Discovery phase, design and deployment for the common project.

Day 4: going through the last two stages, design and deployment. Presentation of individual projects
Build a Coherent Professional Project and Acquire Job Search Tools
For whom: all individuals seeking new employment or considering career change
Course Intention: Work is an important part of our lives. Being able to find fulfillment in it is part of the equation for our balance. In " work life balance," there is the word work. Being fulfilled only outside of work is not sufficient for our overall well-being. During these two days of training we show the way to build a meaningful professional project and provide the specific tools to implement it successfully.
Objectives:
Description: this course is structured successively by connecting personal (meaning), technical (CV, cover letter, and internet), and interpersonal (presentation, interviews) aspects
Please note: the same content can be delivered as individual coaching.
