The Gonsalves Method is a unique, practical, step by step process to help you prepare and deliver effective, impactful, memorable performances whether you are in the acting or business worlds.
Developed by Aileen Gonsalves from her 30+ years experience in the theatre, including her long association performing and directing with the Royal Shakespeare Company directing leading actors, including Dame Judi Dench & Simon Russell Beale, the Gonsalves Method creates an authentic connection between the speaker and the audience.
Put simply, the Gonsalves Method enables leaders and their team members to “hold any audience in the palm of their hand.”
Gonsalves Method practitioners work with political leaders, business executives, actors, artists and professionals face-to-face and virtually including UK politicians, MPs & London Assembly members.
