PRESENTATION and PUBLIC SPEAKING COACHING
I assist professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs and anyone performing to an audience, perfect their public presentations and communication skills with confidence, clarity and uniqueness, through my twenty years of experience in performance and teaching of proven methods.
These coaching sessions are for professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs and anyone performing to an audience (clients, collaborators or spectators), who want to become confident and at ease with making presentations, interviews or get better in their communication skill, in various settings ( offices, conference rooms or on stage).
In an era where our presence and our words are vitally significant, both in the digital and in the physical world, itis vital to transfer and communicate our message with ease, confidence and professionalism to our interested audience.
Very often presentations seemintimidating and challenging and we are often feel shy, our bodies shrink and our voices tremble or even disappear. As a performance expert with proven methods for over twenty years of experience in teaching (University of Nicosia), I will assist you in becoming

propose ways of keeping your audience engaged
Advice you on the flow, and timing of your material
and help you highlight your uniqueness and ability to persuade
and in general practices of making justice to your topic of expertise through an overall successful, confident and proffessional presentation.
You will learn to become aware of how your presence is projected and manifested in the world in ways that are comfortable to you and inspiring to others.
“Working with Lia was an eye opening experience. I gained so much clarity and confidence in a safe, supportive, and explorative space where I felt deeply connected to my body, and voice. Lia introduced me to creative tools and techniques that helped me prepare for a public speaking event, and I especially loved working on the performative aspects: voice, presence, and body language.
The sessions supported my work by helping me show up with greater impact, authenticity, and presence in front of an audience, something that has deeply elevated the way I now communicate and lead. Lia holds space with so much care and precision. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to step into their voice and power.”
The coaching is an opportunity to be on the same page with your inner world and make justice to it, when you present it to others
About me

Renowned for her conceptual clarity, embodied presence, and ability to engage audiences beyond the stage, Haraki’s work spans choreographic creation, site-specific interventions, and experimental formats.
As an educator, she has developed an extensive pedagogical practice through workshops, mentoring schemes, and university-level teaching (University of Nicosia, Intercollege, and Satiriko Theatre). Her signature methods—IntuNition, Performing Biography: a standup solo performance practice, The Onion: Un-layering the creative practice, and The repetitve poetry practice—are grounded in somatic awareness, artistic autonomy, and inclusive creative processes.
Haraki’s TEDx talks—Whatever You Perform is Right (TEDx Limassol) and The Necessity of Performance (TEDx Patras)—encapsulate her commitment to performance as a shared, transformative act accessible to all.

“I loved my sessions with Lia.
An accomplished performer herself, Lia knows what produces a quality performance and knows how to develop that in others. I am really grateful to my friend Dimis Michaelides for recommending her to me. He knew I wanted to take my performance poetry to the next level, and I did exactly that with Lia’s coaching.
She brings warmth and acceptance, which feels very empowering. I felt understood and safe, able to share my concerns, relating both to content and delivery, and find solutions with her.Observing me with a loving eye, she was able to pinpoint what reduced the authenticity in my body language, a matter that had troubled me for years.
