Present With
Winning Impact

It could be a conference keynote, interview, panel participation, industry speech, investor roadshow, pitch presentation or internal townhall, you are in a position to inspire and make change happen. Together, you and I would work on the objectives of the communication, which would inform the design of a logical structure for your content that serves you and your audience. We would then focus on your presentation style, one that is right for you to project authentic leadership that connects with your audience, through which your objectives can be delivered. For an audience to connect with your content, they first need to connect with you.

This is where my bespoke and expert coaching makes a unique difference. The psychology of presenting, your self-talk, can be remastered using a tailored blend of techniques allowing your inner game to serve you rather than be your hijacker. Self-mastery on the stage leads to masterful presenting and allows more positive energy to go into the occasion, rather than the anticipation of the event being an all-consuming energy vampire. The most extraordinary leaders I have coached, have become so through investing in themselves and mastering their ability to select different modes of communication and presenting for the occasion at hand. They don’t always love doing it, but they have found comfort in mastering their signature style. When we can trust ourselves, others will also trust you.

Your tone of voice, choice of intonations, varying speeds, pauses, combined with purposeful body language, underpin how your words and content are delivered and received. Add carefully constructed content and clear messages, brought to life with choice words that resonate and evoke emotion with your specific audience, is how your vision turns into positive action. Together we use video replay to review, coach and access your ultimate delivery style that allows this unique and powerful combination to flow. It may also include realising and removing some distracting habits. I will also show you tricks I have developed and are now being used by world class presenters, which you can experiment with and weave into your executive style.  Through a holistic approach to mind, body, voice and content-based executive presentation coaching, you will master the powerful use of your unique verbal and non-verbal languages.

Overwhelming content. No clear messages. Audience agnostic. No time to rehearse. These are just a few of the reasons why opportunities to show leadership, to motivate and inspire a large audience, are missed. My 20 years of experience in coaching senior leaders in investment banks, asset managers, hedge funds, corporations and governments to present with impact, has instilled new attitudes to focus on compelling content that supports key messages. They have fine-tuned their ability to speak to the hearts and minds of their audiences, being prepared for the tricky questions and investing time to rehearse. Our coaching work together will enable all of this to be wrapped into an energised conversational style, that keeps you and your audience relaxed, connected and seduced with your call to action. It’s often those that think they don’t need presentation coaching who will benefit the most through working with me.

60 minutes of rehearsal for a presentation of 30 minutes x audience of 200, is 1:100 preparation vs leadership impact opportunity. Most would make that investment. My tailored rehearsal coaching sessions ensure that your precious time delivers fast ROI. It can either be one-off, or occasional like for many of my clients, or even regular for those of you on the speaker circuit as part of your high-profile role, with whom I rehearse with and coach before significant appearances. Many executives come-up short by doing their first rehearsal during the live presentation, resulting in sub-optimal performance. Time priorities, conscious avoidance of the uncomfortable and believing a quick read through being enough, are frequent reasons. Through rehearsing together, you will be able to ensure the content is purposeful, you will be admired and your objectives delivered. This is how world class presenters excel, but they don’t always admit it!

It’s different. Some skills cross-over, but you need to be a master the of the different nuances to engage across the room or through the screen. With thousands of hours of online presentation coaching experience across the globe, I will work with you to identify your online mindset and methods that deliver winning impact consistently. Spoken and subtle facial language becomes more significant than body language on the close-up screen. Learn voice, structure, and content engagement tricks to connect with multi-tasking audiences, and while enjoying more comfort of being in your own environment, don’t be the small person on the screen next to the huge slide. Confident, clear, compelling messages and shorter-form content is what you will master during our technical and behavioural coaching sessions. Not forgetting your role as stage director to have camera, mic, lighting and background all working to your advantage.
