Actors use "tools" (voice, body, focus, intention) to convey emotion and connect authentically with audiences. Acting for Management will help you utilize the actor's tools to become a more powerful and persuasive presenter, to feel more confident when communicating with others, to understand yourself and your audience and to show the world the best and most authentic version of you. Through in-class exercises, scene work and discussion, you will practice the craft of acting and learn how it can enhance your abilities as a person, manager and leader.
