Hear director Steve Hemsley talking to Paul Andrews on the Business Bunker radio show.

Steve explains the link between the acting world and business and how the Hendrix courses work and boost employee confidence.

Hendrix creative director Lucy explains why filming your presentation before you deliver it will boost your confidence.

Corporate training with a dramatic twist!

There is an intrinsic link between the business world and the theatre. At work we talk about ‘character’ references, ‘performance’ reviews and ask people what their ‘role’ is. We also have to target and engage ‘audiences’.

Our professional actor/trainers work with clients in the public, private and third sectors to boost employee confidence and motivate teams.

What Our Clients Say...

“Working with Hendrix the Dog has been an inspiration. We have been using actors to bring life to role play in our Customer Engagement training along with our Sales Training.”

Julie Mills – managing director Train to Win.tv

“Hendrix always provides actors that are perfectly matched to the session, even at very short notice. I cannot recommend Hendrix the Dog enough, professional, personal and reliable. The feedback from my candidates is always positive.”

Julie Mills – managing director Train to Win.tv

“The role play element in our sessions has turned into the most enjoyable part of the session. We no longer have people dreading taking part; we now have people asking to take part.”

Julie Mills – managing director Train to Win.tv

“The trainers met the objectives spot on - and used very interactive techniques and built rapport with the staff to ensure they were highly engaged throughout the workshop.”

Human Resources manager, Mortgages plc

“This was a very useful session. The key now will be to make sure I use some of the tips and techniques I took away. Like any training there were things I needed to be told and things I had forgotten from previous training years ago. Having an actor assess and improve my voice and body language was very valuable for future presentations.”

Barry Scott, CTA EMEA, Centrify

“The actor/trainer was fantastic. I know it was daunting for most of the team but a few of them have already come into me and said how glad they were they did it and were impressed that they did better than they thought.”

Emily Kettle, Managing Director, Facts International (Part of Chime Group)

“We need to get our personality across on the telephone. What we say and more importantly how we say it determines what people think of us; good communication is vital for a successful relationship.”

Cancer Research UK business support manager

“The workshop facilitated by Hendrix helped to define what tone of voice is and the interactive format of the workshop brought a new dimension to the learning experience.”

Cancer Research UK business support manager

“When dealing with the media you only get one shot to get your message across. After bringing Steve from Hendrix into our office to train me and my colleagues I now realise how underprepared we were and it was amazing how he was able to put us in a better position in just hours.”

David Batchelor, MD at Wills & Trusts, Chartered Financial Planners

“We booked Hendrix for two members of the team who were due to present to 100 people a few weeks later. Miles, the trainer, was excellent. The difference between the practice presentations at the beginning of the training session and the ones at the end was marked. Both participants said how much they’d enjoyed the session and how much they had learnt.”

Directors MintTwist (Digital Agency)

“The exercises we did with the professional actor were great fun. I highly recommend it for anyone who has to undertake any kind of public speaking.”

Jo Allen, director of operations, development & asset management, Frogmore Property Company

“As a working journalist he has a deep sense of what is needed to take advantage of media opportunities be they TV, radio or print. If you’re going to do media, hire Hendrix.”

David Batchelor, MD at Wills & Trusts, Chartered Financial Planners

“Using drama therapy has helped me with my clients & I’ve seen an impact on people. I use movement as well as bringing story & characters into a play & working from those stories that affect the client” https://t.co/2xUaR392o1 #dramatherapy #suicide #anxiety #depression #Healing
