Overview
A fast, physical, no-slides-required session for teams who want a genuine skill lift without a full workshop day. This is the "gym floor" of Composed & Compelling - the exact drills used in the full-day intensive, stripped back to their sharpest, most practical form.
No theory-heavy intro, just rapid rotation through the three pillars that make a speaker compelling: SAY (owning your language), SOUND (your voice as an instrument), and SEEN (how your body reads in the room). Each station follows the same rhythm: quick demonstration, immediate practice in pairs, live coaching.
Perfect as a lunch-and-learn, a pre-conference warm-up, or a standalone session slotted into a larger leadership day. Participants leave with at least three concrete techniques they can use in their very next meeting or presentation.

Who is this workshop for
Anyone (including people who HATE public speaking). Teams and individuals who want a high-energy, practical skills top-up rather than a full-day commitment. Ideal for lunch-and-learns, conference breakout sessions, or as a warm-up slot within a larger event.
Handouts/materials provided
One-page Gym Card summarising the SAY/SOUND/SEEN drills for participants to keep and reuse independently.
What to bring
Nothing but themselves and a willingness to be seen mid-practice, not just polished at the end. This is a stand-up, moving-around session, so don’t expect to sit back and relax.
Facilitator
About the facilitator
Sophie Hardman is a senior facilitator, keynote and guest speaker who believes learning sticks best when people are genuinely enjoying themselves. And she's spent over a decade proving it, with more than 500 days in the room delivering high-impact leadership and capability programs.
Sophie brings something that's genuinely hard to find: the ability to walk into any room, pick up a well-designed program, and make it exceptional. Whether she's delivering a leadership workshop for 20 senior managers or moderating a full-day conference for 500, she shows up with warmth, presence and the kind of performer energy that keeps a room engaged from the first minute to the last. She is equally at home in a boardroom and on a stage.
Most recently an Associate Director in Learning Consulting at KPMG, Sophie spent 13 years there progressing from Chartered Accountant to leading learning transformation and capability programs across corporate and government clients. Her recent work includes leading a major learning transformation for WA Public Sector Commission, delivering a keynote on AI and the Future of Learning at the AITD conference, and building an AI-powered learning tool that secured significant organisational investment at KPMG. Technology and AI is woven through everything she designs, not as a specialism, but as a natural part of how she thinks.
Sophie is a Chartered Accountant and a qualified yoga teacher - an unusual pairing that gives her both the analytical rigour to design programs that hold up under scrutiny, and the embodied presence to read a room and hold its energy live.
