Irish Standard Time/British Standard Time
Do you dread speaking in public? Not just giving talks, but even speaking up in meetings, or at networking events?
Or maybe you enjoy it, but still get very nervous?
Perhaps a part of you wants to speak up more.
But another part is terrified, and yet another is annoyed that you feel like this.
There are almost too many parts to keep track of, and each speaking occasion brings the same old smorgasbord of misery.
Wouldn't it be nice to work with your parts in a way that brings change? And wouldn't it be nice to learn some speaking skills to help you become more articulate and focused?
This course can help you with both.

W wielkiej rodzinie focusingowej szukamy spotkania słowiańskich dusz …nie przejmując się geografią ani kilometrami, które nas dzielą … Tak jak zawsze to spotkanie oczu i serc…w poszukiwaniu tego co chce się wyłonić, urodzić czy rozplątać…z chęcią znalezienia słów i sposobów wyrażenia „tego wszystkiego” co jeszcze niewypowiedziane, a tak żywo obecne .
