Do you end a presentation or speech wishing you could have had more impact?

Are you comfortable with your ability to engage and win over an audience?

Let's face it: there are lots of presentation skills workshops out there to choose from, so why choose ours?

The fact is that for over four years, we've collected and collated the feedback received from almost every workshop we've given.   Hundreds of workshops and thousands of participants, and our average score for 'presentation' is running at over 8.5/10.   That's not at all bad considering that we have to keep an audience engaged, interested and attentive for up to seven hours of teaching at a full day event.

What that feedback means is that we're demonstrably pretty good at presenting. It also means that the content of own presentation skills workshop is based on a real understanding of presentation dynamics based on our own experience of putting ourselves in front of challenging audiences week after week.

Our 'Good On Your Feet' workshop is structured to give practical help to small groups of people and takes as its starting point the fact that any presentation - be it impromptu vote of thanks, Powerpoint presentation to colleagues or clients, or conference keynote speech - can be deconstructed into a number of identifiable elements and that individual participants will vary widely in their comfort with each of those elements.  

Those component parts are individually discussed, practised and critiqued in a series of exercises (including video recording) and ultimately woven back together to ensure that by the end of the workshop, all participants feel better able to make a coherent, confident and above all, engaging presentation.

A typical workshop schedule is:

• Building Blocks - deconstructing the presenter's art
• A Beginning, A Middle and An End - practical help to develop structure
• Finding The Right Words - spontaneity takes a lot of practice
• Two Way Traffic - the importance of interaction, and how to achieve it
• Darling, You Were Marvellous! - getting your persona across to your audience
• Tools Of The Trade - there really is more to life than Powerpoint
• Lights, Cameras, Action! - putting it all back together

We provide a comprehensive workshop manual and offer immediate post-event email and telephone support to attendees. Six hours teaching (approx.) plus lunch and tea/coffee breaks.
