Testimonials

"The content was informative and useful, especially the part about the different personality types and how to tailor your presentation's story based on what you want your audience to get out of it."

"Practical aspect was most useful. I learnt that it's all about the preparation and reading aloud before a presentation to properly gauge timing, pauses and emphasis."

"I will approach presentations with much more confidence, and the ability to prep in the right way. I will take my time to plan and practice as well as take my time when presenting and contributing to discussions."

“I followed John’s plan and it worked!”

In the changed world in which we now work, many things about presentations remain the same. For the presenter, it’s still about making a personal impact - to engage, inspire and influence your audience and to promote change. At the same time, how we present is different. We’re presenting more by video, which requires us to learn additional skills and methods in order to continue to be effective

Your goals as a presenter include putting your ideas across effectively, hearing others and recognising their contributions, and through this process, meeting your objectives. Your path to success involves work on how you: Prepare, Practise, Perform and build your Personal Confidence around presentations.
