Deliver Every Presentation with Confidence
Great speakers are not born, they're made. Presenting confidently may seem to be something that 'other people are good at', but it's a skill which is learnt, and this course has simple techniques which will enable you to achieve this goal. The terror of standing up to speak in front of a group of people is completely normal, but you can overcome it with these straightforward steps.
I like to keep things as simple as possible, and I've kept to the rule of three to make things as easily understood as possible. Each section features a ten minute video, followed by a 5 minute narrated PowerPoint video, and finished with a questionnaire document to generate the vital information for your presentation.
I also like my training to be fun, unique and completely honest. I found that sitting in a field of barley was the perfect environment to deliver my lectures in this course because it fits my approach to speaking.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone delivering presentations that matter.

I've worked as a designer (and experienced the joy of deadlines) at games companies including Sony and Electronic Arts, and as a professional stand-up comic for a few years, so I know how to engage and motivate. Occasionally I can be funny too.
Now, as a coach and speaker, I teach effective communication, using my personal skills to both show and tell. I've delivered communication skills training for Electronic Arts, Space Ape Games and Cambridge University.
A unique combination of insights from the worlds of computer game design and stand-up comedy enables even the most introverted of my clients to deliver presentations that enhance their professional persona and both delight and motivate their audiences.
