Our media training programmes are personality driven as your personality is the key to your success. Audiences are wise to and turned off by people who have been ‘media trained’.
If you want to be successful you need to come across as natural, authentic and honest so that your audience can connect and identify with you - it's what we call finding your personal brand. And we'll ensure your personal brand works with the brand of your business.

We'll also look at your messaging, scripts and content as without a clear message everything else falls down.
We are experts in script writing and content creation and will reveal our tricks on how to write and structure your content to ensure your message authentic, engaging and impactful.

To train 100 of their social media influencers from all around the world in one session in London.
NIKE asked us to coach 100 EKINS (social media influencer team – NIKE spelt backwards) to help them come across on brand, natural and engaging for all their social media and video content.
After initial conversations we wrote them a bespoke training programme that was both practical and informative, working with the scripts and type of work NIKE were doing.
We had 3 hours to coach 100 clients flown from all over the world to work with us. Clients worked in teams and received individual coaching around various exercises.
“Big shout out for putting together an awesome run of show and quickly learning and understanding the group’s needs. The tone of voice of how the session was great too, very casual and informal, the best way EKINs respond! The Team expressed how fun, engaging, practical and ultimately useful they found the session.”
NIKE
A one day bespoke training session for 4 people, to include media training and presentation skills coaching.
Each attendee is sent a form, where they can tell us about their business, their role, their needs and want to get out of their time with us.
We tailor-make the programme to suit each individual’s needs, and those of the department that asked us to do the training.
The morning focussed on media training, 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.
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.
There are no general rules to how to be a good presenter – as each person is different. So we chat you through our checklist of things to think about when it comes to being ‘you’ and ‘believable’ on camera.
We worked with the clients in lots of different ways, with and without scripts - putting the clients in scenarios that reflect the media work they will have to do. Each exercise is also about building their personal brand, with detailed coaching from us.
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.
The afternoon was spent looking at presentation skills. We started off with our do’s and dont’s, 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.
We end the day discussing their personal brands, bringing together all the work we have done.
We offer something extra special in the all-too-grey world of presentation skills training and presentation skills coaching.
Our bespoke coaching sessions are tailor-made to your needs, helping you develop your own style and have the maximum impact.
We have detailed 360° approach so will advise you on everything from your script to your visuals, ensuring that your presentation is authentic and impactful.
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:
1: WE ARE BAFTA AWARD-WINNING COACHES WITH OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE: We have an exceptional track record working with clients of all levels of experience.
2: WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE WORLD'S TOP BRANDS, PRESENTERS, AND BUSINESSES: It's our jobs to 'produce’ the Presenter and write their script, and we've worked with everyone from Claudia Winkleman, Graham Norton, Rylan Clarke, Zoe Ball, Sara Cox to Christine Lampard and we've also worked with international stars from David Beckham OBE to Madonna to politicians. And we've coached incredible global brands including NIKE, Prudential, ASOS, Porsche, The Guardian, SKY, Vogue and so on!
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:
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.

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

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

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