About this event
June is a smorgesbord of fantastic stuff, with three speakers coming from all around the country to see how cool it would be to be a Geordie!
Opening up our evening is Barbara Nixon. Barbara is opening the day with her work on Confidence and Leadership. She’s coming up from Yorkshire, so it’s the second best thing to being a Geordie!
Lise Kaye-Bell moves us on – she’s going to be “Bringing stories to life: Crafting characters and captivating with words”. We’ll learn more about how to use storytelling as a transformative tool for our audiences. Bringing her work as a theatre director to the speaking world, this should be a cracker!
Closing us out is the utterly fabulous Mel Sherwood. Mel’s an Aussie living in Scotland, so she’s the third best thing to being a Geordie!
