We work with clients on a wide range of presentation work - business events, online presentations, webinars, internal meetings, social media content and much more.  

Here are five things that make our presentation skills coaching special:

3: WE WILL DESIGN A BESPOKE PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR YOU: Everything we do is bespoke.  We don’t have a 'one size fits all' approach to presentation skills.  We'll do extensive research into your business, your audience or customer and the context of your presentation.  All our sessions are detailed, expert led, and unique to your needs.  

Our sessions will focus around two essential ingredients:

• 1 - Your Presentation Skills and Delivery - we'll give you the tools to develop your personal brand so you can develop your own style, and find your authentic voice.
  
• 2 - Your Script and Content – we'll help you refine your message, make everything work with the brand of the business, and help with scripts, slides and all your content needs

Our bespoke training work can be of any duration to suit your needs - from two hour coaching sessions, to group sessions across full days.  We've coached clients on everything to hosting monthly meetings, to key-note presentations, to virtual and hybrid events to storytelling, to dealing with nerves, to content creation for your influencers on social media, to in-store demonstrations.

Everything is bespoke to you and your type of presentation, ensuring we get exceptional results.  The length of our sessions are also bespoke to your availability.  

We can discuss the various options:  

OPTION 1 - One-to-ne two hour coaching sessions in person or online.

OPTION 2 - One-to-one full day(s) or half day coaching in person or online.  

OPTION 3 - Group coaching sessions, in person or online of all durations (from two hours to numerous days).

PRIOR TO YOUR PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING SESSION - WE RESEARCH YOU, YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR NEEDS:

In advance of our presentation skills coaching session we’ll send you a form to fill in.  This allows you to share more information about your company, customer, and service so we can get to know you, your business and your needs.  We'll then undertake detailed research into your business, brand, and customer – from looking at your website to social media to any previous presentations or content.  

WE THEN DESIGN A BESPOKE PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING SESSION:

Based on your needs, our research, length of the session, and number of attendees we will design your bespoke training package.  If you want us to look into a specific area of presenting for a specific session we do that too - just get in touch, and we'll then develop a programme for you.  

THE TRAINING SESSION – STARTING WITH AN INITAL EXPLORATION OF YOU, YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR AUDIENCE:

Our sessions are both practical and informaton led with detailed individual coaching and feedback,

We always start with an evalutation of you, your business and your customer - putting all of our work into context.  We’ll look to discuss some crucial areas:

• How you want to come across.
• What is the brand of your business.
• Who is your core audience/customer.
• Your key purpose. 
• What you personally and professionally want to achieve from your presentations.

WE’LL DEVELOP YOUR PERSONAL BRAND:

Presentation training can do more harm than good if it’s not personal to you.  Our coaching sessions help you develop your own voice and style, ensuring you come across as authentic and ‘on brand’.  We will enourage you to find your own language and your own type of presentation.  

ENSURING YOUR PERSONAL BRAND WORKS WITH YOUR BUSINESS:

We’ll ensure your presentation works with the brand of your business and suits your customer/audience.

WE’LL EXAMINE YOUR CONTENT:

We are experts in script writing and will ensure that your scripts are personal to you and have the desired impact. We’ll explore these key areas:

• A clear purpose.
• Dynamic structure.
• Language that is personal to you.
• Clear take-out.
• Maximum impact.

OUR CHECK LIST OF ESSENTIAL DO’S AND DON’TS:

Our check list of do’s and don’ts will take your presentations to the next level and look at both how to be a good presenter, but also how to structure, write and craft a good presentation. 

ENSURING YOUR VISUALS AND SLIDES HAVE IMPACT:

If you are using slides they can be the death of a presentation, and presentations can rely too heavily on them.  We will help you use slides more effectively and for maximum impact. 

A 360° APPROACH - THINK OF THIS AS A CREATIVE OPPORTUNITY:

Each presentation you do should start as a blank piece of paper.  It's a creative opportunity to come up with dynamic ideas.  We will develop every aspect of your presentation – from your delivery, to your music, to your visuals, to what you wear.  

ON-THE-DAY COACHING:

If you need us to come to the event on the day we can - working with you in the space can put the icing on the cake.

We work with a whole range of businesses around the world - big and small.  

Our clients are repeat customers, and we pride ourselves on good relationships.  

Our clients include ASOS, Prudential Plc, Red Bull, Sage, Porsche Racing, NIKE, National Pharmacy Association, Virgin Media Business, AOL, Simpson Millar Solicitors, The Huffington Post, The Guardian, Lush, Conde Naste, Rosemary Water, ATD Direct, WCRS, GQ, Vogue, Fenty Beauty, SKY, KVD beauty, SEGA, Ole Henriksen.

CASE STUDY 1

CLIENT: SKY

BRIEF:

To train 89 of the SKY team as part of their away day experience in presentation skills for online, meetings, and general presentation work.

THE PROCESS:

After initial conversations with the team we developed a bespoke training programme covering everything from presentation skills, to content creation.

THE TRAINING DAY:

We had 3 hours to coach 89 clients flown from all over the world to work with us. Clients worked in teams and received individual coaching around various exercises.

WHAT SKY SAID:

“You blew us away.  It was the best session we have ever had.  The feedback from everyone has been incredible.  Everyone found it fantastic, energising and well thought out.  I will highly recommend you to other parts of the business.  It was brilliant".
SKY

CASE STUDY 2

CLIENT: PRUDENTIAL PLC

BRIEF:

These were two hour 1-to 1 in person coaching sessions at Prudential's offices in London for two of their Executive Directors.  They were both giving a presentation at the company's annual review..

In advance of the sesssion we were sent their forms, scripts and sent a proposal for approval, and then we designed a bespoke presentation skills training programme. 

One Executive Director was going to be the host of the event.  The other was giving a 30 minute presentation.  Prudential Plc are a regular client.

FINDING THEIR BRAND:

We worked with the client on their personal brand – how do they want to come across, and what do they personally want to get out of the event?  And we explored the brand of the business, the purpose and tone of the event – how do Prudential want to come across, what is their overarching message and how can we best capture this?

WORKING ON THEIR SCRIPT AND BEING CREATIVE:

We gave feedback on their scripts, which lacked personality, shape, structure, tone and weren't written for their voice.  We explored ideas on how they could be more impactful, from how to use the audience, music, to is ’30 minutes’ really necessary'?  We came up with a ‘watercooler moment’ for the end of one client's speech - he wanted to get people talking, it was a tough one to pull off, but he did it!

And for the one client who was the host we very much worked with her to embrace and maximise the opportunity - making it personal, varied, punchy, and fitting for the event.  

WORKING ON THEIR PRESENTATION SKILLS:  

We worked on their presentation skills, focusing on shape, tone, message, personality, pace – all things that when combined help to pull off a winning presentation.  There was a long list of practical things we worked through – confidence, how to remember the script, visuals, microphone technique, and how to control nerves, entrance music, use of the stage...

THE CLIENTS RECEIVED FANTASTIC FEEDBACK:  

And both speakers had fantastic feedback, and we continue to work with Prudential Plc.

"A big thank you!  Your coaching made such a difference."  Cathy Lewis, Non Executive Director Prudential International Assurance.  

"The event was a huge success and your support really paid off."  Brad Jennings, Director of Transformation Engagement, Prudential Assurance.   

CASE STUDY 3

CLIENT: SAGE

BRIEF:

A one day presenter training and presentation skills coaching session for 4 members of staff - to include both on camera presenting work and presentation skills.

DETAILED PREPARATION AND RESEARCH: 

Each attendee is sent a form, where they can tell us about themselves, their business, their role, the type of presenting they do, and what they want to get out of the day.

A BESPOKE TRAINING PROGRAMME:

We then designed a day's presenter training including writing scripts to workshop, and booking camera crews and lighting.  

AM: ON CAMERA WORK. PM: PRESENTATION SKILLS:

The morning focussed on on-camera presenting, and the afternoon on presentation skills.

We started by taking a step back, looking at the brand of the business, their customer, the ambition of the business and the purpose of their video content.  This ‘re-group’ really helps the clients to revaluate, refocus and puts everything we do into context.

DEVELOPING YOUR PERSONAL BRAND:

We discuss the importance of finding your own voice, but one that works within the voice of the business – and that is the core purpose of the whole day – to explore, develop and establish each individual’s presenting style.

OUR DO’S AND DON’TS:

There are no general rules to how to be a 'good presenter' – instead it's all about embracing your points of difference.  So we chat you through our checklist of things to think about when it comes to being ‘you’ and ‘believable’ on camera.

ON CAMERA WORK:

We worked with the clients in lots of different ways, with and without scripts. Each exercise is about building their brand, with detailed feedback and individual coaching. 

SCRIPTS AND DEALING WITH INFORMATION/TAKE-OUT:

Scripts play a big part in what we do – the foundation to a good presenter is understanding what makes a good script, how to make it your own, and how to deal with any information you might need to get across.

PRESENTATION SKILLS:

The afternoon was spent looking at presentation skills. We started off with our do’s and dont’s on everything from structuring and writing scripts and content, before giving feedback on the scripts they had previously written.

Much time was then spent rewriting scripts, before we worked with each person individually on delivering their new presentation in front of the room.

THEIR PERSONAL BRANDS:

We end the day discussing their personal brands, bringing together all the work we have done.

And we received fantastic feedback:  

"Thanks so much to you!  The sessions were amazing", Lise Colyer, Communications Sage Foundation.
