Better presentation skills and public speaking - How to always impress your audience

Tailor-made presentation skills and public speaking courses or seminars

The important factor about this training is that it is designed specifically for your presentations, your material, your key points, your skill levels and your audiences.

This training is not your standard presentation training.

I can come in and evaluate your current power-points and hard-copy materials and suggest improvements.
I can watch DVDs of your people presenting and provide coaching and refinements.
I can objectively review your presentation material as an outsider and see things that you may have missed.
I can review your materials and presentation style as if I am a member of your audience.
I'll help you succeed, whether you are trying to convince an audience to change, to be inspired or to be better informed.

Possible one-day or half-day presentation skills courses or seminars

2. Having presence while presenting.

Would you like to command attention and not have people ignore what you say? Sometimes it is not what you say but how you say it. Two people can say the same thing. One can be given adulation, the other can be disregarded. Why? Because one had presence and the other didn't. So whether it is a 1-1 interaction, speaking out at a meeting or giving a formal presentation how can you have presence? This highly interactive, turbo-charged, and fun presentation will show you how. And it will cover aspects you never knew mattered.

The non-verbals that help give presence.
Developing commanding eye contact 1-1, in small groups standing, in meetings sitting, and with large groups presenting.
Getting an important message across to people who may not want to listen.
Commanding attention at the start of a presentation, non-verbally and in silence.
Sitting with power.
Your pelvis in standing and how it can stop you from being a push-over.
Taking up space and having presence - at meetings, while presenting and while talking to people - even if you are small.
Standing tall and having a commanding presence.
The verbal behaviours that matter.
How diction and volume can give authority.
Facial expressions and what to do with them.
Hands and what to do with them.
The importance of emphasis for impact.
Voice inflections that make you sound too young and how to avoid them.
The power of pacing your audience.
How not to be intimidated by your audience or the person you are talking to so you stay fully present.
Managing your mind to increase your presence.
Head nods - the male and female differences - what they mean and why they matter.
The body language of confidence.
How to give instructions so your audience will do what you want.
The difference between seducing from the stage and having a presence!

What others have said about our presentation skills training and courses:

"I have followed your wonderful newsletters for many years. When I was a new practitioner living in Morocco and doing public speaking seminars I would use your stuff all the time; then in Nepal, same story. Now, many years and lives later, I am in Washington, D.C., and I just wanted to thank you for your always inspirational and no nonsense approach. This was a great one (how to engage your audience) and the advice you give is priceless! THANK-YOU!"
Chrish Kresge, GCFP, Washington DC, August 2011.
"I really enjoyed your session in Bunbury today on "How to give Interesting Presentations". I have learnt today that it's all about the AUDIENCE!
Shamara Williams, South West Institute of Technology. May 2011.

"I attended your workshop, "How to make your presentations interesting". I was so energised and motivated when I came out of your workshop. It made me feel confident and excited to make my first presentation. Thank you for that! I can't wait to present and be different, and not do the same old boring thing I have seen at past conferences."
Michelle Coles. Senior Library Technician, University Western Australia. August 2009.

Dear Rachel,
I attended your workshop on "How to make your presentations interesting". You were a life saver, and I thought I would pass on to you the feedback I received from the speech I consequently gave: "I wanted to thank you for being a very interesting and engaging speaker at our session. I very much enjoyed your talk and thought that it had real resonance for our situation". Mission accomplished, with your help! Thank you. Sincerely.
Asst/Professor Jolanta (Yola) Szymakowski. June 2009.

I was at your "How to make Your Presentations Interesting" seminar this morning, and I must say that your presentation was a good advertisement in itself - it was interesting indeed! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and this was probably the best presentation I have seen to date in terms of learned value/time spent. (And probably the only one where I didn't dose off, not even momentarily!) (If I had a dollar for every lecture I fell asleep in, I'd be very wealthy, retired on my own Pacific island... pina coladas...) Thank you very much. I'll highly recommend your seminar to anyone who is serious about their presentations.
Charles Hanich, University of Western Australia, 19th March 2008

I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the "Persuasive Presentations" workshop at Landgate very much and learned a lot. It was varied, it was punchy, it was fun - great to see you living your message to us!
Matthew Myles, Business Manager, Valuation Services, Landgate, August 2007.

We have been so inspired by the skills we learnt from you in our in-house presentation skills course that we have thrown away the old prison officer's boring power point presentation and have produced a new one.
Ian Cox, Senior Investigating Officer, WA Ombudsman's Office. April 2006.

Your presentation skills course had a great impact on me. I went into my next presentation with excitement for the first time EVER. Feedback was very good. Thank you for making a difference in my life.
Laurie Lehmann, Guardian, Office of the Public Advocate. Dec 2004.

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful course, "Public Speaking Made Easy". I enjoyed it immensely and now feel confident in preparing a speech / presentation / or just plain speaking. I have recommended to our HR Branch that all staff should attend.
Valia Taylor, Department of Indigenous Affairs, April 2006.
