AWA WISE is proud to bring you a face-to-face workshop by David Pope that helps you communicate with gravitas by using one of the most neglected components of your personality – your voice!

What constitutes "gravitas"
What a voice with gravitas sounds like
Using the science of the voice effectively
How speakers use vocal variety to their advantage
The crucial importance of non-verbals: posture, gesture, and expression
