Previously a professional stand-up comic for over two years, Torrens’ half-day course Killer Presenting: Achieve a Comedian's Confidence provides an innovative approach and alternative perspective on the skill of public speaking.
“For me, public speaking is like a martial art. I’m no physical fighter, but I love a bit of verbal combat. I like to think of myself as a mystical, public speaking Shao Lin monk. In reality I’m a coach with tons of stand-up comedy experience; I help transform people into confident public speakers with tried and tested techniques” quips Torrens.
Focusing on adaptability, the half-day workshop at Cambridge Business Lounge guides attendees through the essential skills for delivering a great presentation, offering advice from a comic’s perspective on managing situations that may occur whilst presenting. The course leads participants through the entire process from the key elements of speaking, from defining the presentation through to improvising, structuring material and guidance on how to deliver.
Dubbed by Comedian Jimmy Carr as “a great writer and performer, always a pleasure to work with, and a true gent” Torrens has now established himself within the realm of Public Speaking, encouraging and teaching many individuals to significantly improve their speaking skills.
Host Ed, owner of Cambridge Business Lounge, has helped over 10,000 small businesses to develop in the past decade and has a passion for collaboration. Himself a public speaker, Ed hopes Killer Presenting will inspire many local business people to reengage with the art of public speaking:
“I’m excited about this collaboration as Jon offers such a fantastic approach to public speaking coaching. CBL are pleased to provide the opportunity to local businesses to come and improve upon, or rejuvenate their public speaking.
