  What if failure could make you more magnetic? What if the key to winning people over wasn?t about being smart, interesting, or polished?but about being fully present? Presence & Play in Business is a dynamic, experiential workshop for Athens Area entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners who want to get out of their heads, connect more deeply with clients and colleagues, and feel more freedom in front of a crowd. Rooted in modern French performance training, this work uses engaging group games and interactive exercises to reveal the surprising power of spontaneity, vulnerability, and authentic presence. Through playful games, you'll explore how and when you?re most charming, most loved, and most effective in front of a crowd. By embracing failure in a low-stakes environment, you'll uncover how it can become a catalyst?not just for growth, but for genuine connection and lasting success. Led by Chase Brantley, an award-winning performer and director (Graduate of École Philippe Gaulier), this workshop invites you to take creative risks, unlock your natural charisma, and tap into a deeper, more playful way of showing up in your work and leadership. No performance experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity.
