DON'T ENTERTAIN A BULLY

An original concept in corporate learning and development.

NIDA Corporate Performance in conjunction with the Alex Buzo Company will present a new program that looks at the complex, and sometimes distasteful, problems of bullying and prejudice.

Bullying is not black and white and is frequently disguised with a smiling facade. An unjust use of power, the silent treatment, the constant undermining of someone's self esteem and the exploitation of phobia all amount to bullying.

Prejudice is not always perceived. Sometimes the prevailing view is a prejudiced one and therefore seen as normal. In a society where we still say 'there is a black man running for President of the US' or 'a woman is the new Governor General of Australia' prejudice is alive and well.

Bullying and prejudice are not limited by sex, age, position or cultural origins in either the giver or the receiver. Subtle manipulation, exclusion by intent and overt comments can rob people of their self-esteem.

In the NIDA Corporate Performance tradition we are combining theatre and facilitation in a new program. A performance of Alex Buzo's classic Australian play Norm and Ahmed precedes a workshop which unflinchingly searches for the truth, perception and fact in the multifaceted areas of prejudice and bullying. This powerful play is funny and awful as it deals with the flawed characters' preconceived notion of each other.

The issues that are addressed in this workshop are pertinent in the contemporary work environment.  It will aim to encourage participants' self-awareness and increase understanding of truth and perception.

BE PREPARED TO PERFORM

The best communicators are always prepared.  They are consistent, relevant, concise, and above all, they allow their personality to shine through at all times.  In order to be an astute presenter, good communication skills must become routine.  It is otherwise unrealistic to expect to be physically, vocally and mentally equipped for every high stakes communication.

Most people baulk at the thought of performing before a live audience, yet performing, at some level is just what we are doing in every communication context.  Form good habits, so performing doesn't take you by surprise.

NIDA Corporate Performance offers this two hour experiential seminar which explores the combining of authenticity, with vocal and physical accuracy, to turn any performance into an exhilarating experience.  Be Prepared To Perform and perform beyond your expectations.
