I had no hesitation in inviting her to present to our staff again in 2010.

Rachel's innovative audience involvement techniques are first class, and definitely gave me, and the audience, skills to take home, tell others and start using immediately. The feedback was exceptional.

When I entered the room I was negative about being there but I've left the "How to keep your cool" course with confidence and a new approach to both my home and work environments. I have never stayed so alert and interested in a course as much as I have in this one. You have made a real difference to my life.

As a result of this I went home and resolved an on-going issue we have been struggling with for the last 4 months. Thank you so much for changing my perspective, whilst making it so simple to achieve."

"I have had so much good feedback from everyone about our networking conversations workshop, we all really enjoyed it. I hope to be able to do another course with you in the near future!"
Samantha Matthews, Helix RDS, September 2009.

"I had the pleasure of putting into practice all the skills I learnt in the networking workshop the following day when I attended a Neuro-Scientist symposium. The big news is that I 'networked' away instead of sitting back. It was good fun and I did manage to swap my business card with another clinician and the Keynote speaker. Before I left, I spoke to 13 new people - the list of 'victims' included Keynote speakers, audience members, event organisers, poster presenters and honours students. I had a blast. Thanks again! Hope to cross paths again soon."
Voon Pang, Western Australia, 18th Sept 2008.

Please see below all the feedback we collected on your "Successful Networking" workshop.
This has been the most useful and relevant workshop I have done all year. It was really enjoyable and helpful.
Another great workshop. Thank you Rachel. A good opportunity to network.
It was fantastic. Many thanks!
I enjoyed it and would be interested in other workshops regarding communication and building professional confidence.
Thanks so much Rachel. I learnt a great deal today.
Very useful.
Was great!
Excellent, I would recommend this to everyone! Thanks Rachel!
This was an informative and fun workshop.
Great fun. It would be good to have slightly more on maintaining network.
Once again, fabulous work Rachel! Well done.
Anna Pitman, The University of Western Australia, Organisational and Staff Development Services. 21st September 2008.

"At a networking function the day after the "Chat and network with confidence" course, I managed to meet 5 new people in 55 minutes instead of standing in the corner and waiting for someone to approach me. It was one of the most practical, well-facilitated and useful courses I have attended in a long time. And it was extremely enjoyable."
Lee Pearson, Senior E-Business Analyst, Water Corporation.

"I noticed how great I felt after leaving the Networking Communications Course ... and this was all because of you. I learnt so much and gained new friends at the same time! I have never attended a workshop which was filled with so much enthusiasm, passion and quality. It was definitely a worthwhile experience, and one that I will always remember. Many thanks. It was absolutely wonderful. You should be recognised for your high standards of professionalism."
Linda Grojek, School of Humanities, The University of Western Australia.

Presentation Skills Training - 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.

o

I can come in and evaluate your current power-points and hard-copy materials and suggest improvements.

o

I can watch DVDs of your people presenting and provide coaching and refinements.

o

I can objectively review your presentation material as an outsider and see things that you may have missed.

o

I can review your materials and presentation style as if I am a member of your audience.

o

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

1. How to make credible, clear and interesting presentations.

Learn how to impress, inform and inspire your clients, colleagues and associates in your marketing seminars, client presentations and business forums. You can choose the aspects you most want covered.

For example, learn how to:

o

Be confident, convincing and credible in front of a group

o

Research your audience

o

Consistently get your key points across.

o

Systematically prepare and structure your presentation

o

Be natural and not stiff, starchy or nervous

o

Stop your mind from going blank

o

Start strongly

o

Gain and maintain your audiences� attention throughout

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.

o

The non-verbals that help give presence.

o

Developing commanding eye contact 1-1, in small groups standing, in meetings sitting, and with large groups presenting.

o

Getting an important message across to people who may not want to listen.

o

Commanding attention at the start of a presentation, non-verbally and in silence.

o

Sitting with power.

o

Your pelvis in standing and how it can stop you from being a push-over.

o

Taking up space and having presence - at meetings, while presenting and while talking to people - even if you are small.

o

Standing tall and having a commanding presence.

o

The verbal behaviours that matter.

o

How diction and volume can give authority.

o

Facial expressions and what to do with them.

o

Hands and what to do with them.

o

The importance of emphasis for impact.

o

Voice inflections that make you sound too young and how to avoid them.

o

The power of pacing your audience.

o

How not to be intimidated by your audience or the person you are talking to so you stay fully present.

o

Managing your mind to increase your presence.

o

Head nods - the male and female differences - what they mean and why they matter.

o

The body language of confidence.

o

How to give instructions so your audience will do what you want.

o

The difference between seducing from the stage and having a presence!





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

"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.

What others have said

"I just wanted to say thanks for yesterday's MBTI session, I thought it went really well and was very worthwhile. You always make those sessions constructive but not critical which is great and I think really helps contribute to the team feeling amongst the managers."
Paul Martin. Manager Economic Development, Shire of Busselton, September 2009.

"The session my colleague and I had with you was a major eye opener for both of us. Finding out that we are opposite MBTI types has given us the tools to deal with our situation far better."
Gry R Stene, Manager R&D, Gemcom Software International.

"I found your Myers Briggs Course that our Office of the Public Advocate workgroup did a few months ago very enlightening. I think it really brought us together and helped us to understand each other better. Thank you."
Laurie Lehmann, Guardian, Office of the Public Advocate.

"I really enjoyed the Executive's MBTI team building workshop, it helped me understand people more and to be able to rationalize with them. One of the other Executive, who is a very different type from myself, and I, worked together on Thursday very successfully and I believe the workshop greatly contributed to this. Thanks. I want to do a similar workshop with my management team."
Carole Bain, General Manager, Home Support Service, Silver Chain.

"The use of the Myers Briggs evaluation, was a master stroke, for since then everyone in the office, has showed the benefits of understanding and valuing the differences between each other's personalities. This has directly led to a softening of a number of inter-staff relationship problems and a far greater tolerance being shown between staff members. It is interesting to note that the changes that have become apparent, are showing no signs of dissipating with time, a sure sign that the lessons have been truly learned and are being applied."
Geoff Bebb, Former Managing Director, Surpac Software International.

"I wish to say thank you to you for the Myers Briggs session with the Silver Chain Executive. The day was great and I personally got a lot of value out of it, in particular learning more about each other in our team. Through your contribution and facilitation we maintained an environment of openness, given the type of information that was shared of each other, which keeps us on the journey to enhance and strengthen our team and relationships within."
Sue Schneider, Group Manager, Human Resources, Silver Chain.

"The twenty women involved in your course thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and found it most informative. Comments were made like, "Now I understand why I do things the way I do" and "Finally, I understand why people react so strongly in some of the meetings I go to". Your presentation has been described as "life changing" and "the most important workshop I have ever done". The women involved in this course most certainly agree."
Leigh Hardingham, WA Rural Leadership Program.

Other workshops centred around the use of the MYERS BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR can also be conducted for you.
