HISTORY OF THE HELEN O’GRADY DRAMA ACADEMY
OUR APPROACHOur approach is one of self-development; a journey which both the
individual and the workforce are taken on. This is achieved using a
detailed and creative programme, with a focus on tailormade
training. Our bespoke courses are designed to build the confidence
of both the individual and the team, so improving interpersonal
communication skills.
• Develop imagination and creativity to enable open mindedness,
enthusiasm, critical and creative thinking.
• Improve verbal communication skills, to encourage positive
dialogue amongst colleagues and collaboration with others in times
of conflict. This facilitates the improvement of effective public
speaking and presentation skills, as well as increasing general
communication within the workforce.
• Build self-confidence when presenting by encouraging the
understanding of body language and non-verbal body
communication.
• Expand emotional intelligence, which can help with self-reflection
and empathetic skills.

WORK & PlAy WITH PAssIOn
We believe the performing arts are an
exciting and stimulating way to develop
long lasting skills which transfer easily to
the workplace. “Development Through
Drama” is a unique and exciting premise,
where everyday life skills can be
imparted, through drama, to people of all
ages and in all situations.
PEOPlE DEvElOPmEnT & TEAmWORK
We offer creative and exciting drama
activities, written and collated by experts
in training and development, which
easily transfer to common situations
encountered in the workplace. Whether
imparted to individuals, small groups or a
more substantial number, delegates leave
feeling enabled and confident.
The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy was founded in 1979 when
Helen O’Grady, a trained drama teacher, actress and Tv
presenter commenced after school drama classes for children.
Her aim for the Academy was to provide a self-development
programme, specialising in building confidence, self-esteem
and verbal communication skills resulting, through drama, in a
more positive approach to life.

“I’m so glad I approached the Helen O’Grady team for help with developing my
vocal projection and public speaking. The sessions were really fun and so
enlightening. I was able to apply the techniques straight away and have actively
sought opportunities to speak to large audiences. The sessions have also given me
much more confidence in the workplace generally, and in dealing with ever yday
situations which I would previously have found ver y uncomfortable.
Deciding to ask for help from the Helen O’Grady team was definitely one of the
best decisions I ’ve made!”.
