Think of an inspirational speaker. What exactly is it about them that is inspiring?

Is it the actual, physical delivery of their speech? Their stance, tone and cadence of voice, eye contact, gestures?

Is it their honest passion and inherent emotion that is apparent in every word that they utter?

Is it their ability to make persuasive, reasoned points and sustain a clear argument throughout?

Is it their belief in themselves and what they are saying; the overwhelming sense that what they are saying is part of what they believe is their purpose in life?

Well, at All Words, we have recently learnt that it is those individuals who bring all of the above - their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of their personality - to the forefront of everything that they say and do, who truly have presence.

And how have we learned this? By working with the fantastic Vivienne Mee: performing artist and workshop leader, specialist in personal transformation, people skills, communication and presence - and a lady who, herself, truly does have presence.

We’ve worked with Vivienne to create the copy on her newly-launched website:

It’s been a fantastic project to work on - creative, quirky, unusual, imaginative and intellectually challenging. Oh, and loads of fun

Thanks Vivienne!
