Kate’s speech and her subjects!
Thursday, 22 March 2012
The day Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge gave her first big speech, we were running a presentation training session for a group of young people- helping them prepare to stand up in front of an audience and speak.
Now, to be fair, most of our group (in the short term at least) won’t have their words carried live in the States. But there were similarities.
I think the biggest was the engagement. Kate looked great. She had dressed appropriately (magnificently) and she appeared genuinely pleased to be there. That’s a cracking start. Working with our group, I wanted them to soften their faces and release a smile – to demonstrate their personality and passion.

Guest blog - Dennis Coath

Today it suddenly dawned on me, that I have completed over 40 years as a journalist, writer and broadcaster. Three radio stations, two TV companies and four books later… I am wondering. Where did it all go? Well I am trying to remember it all and pass on the style and guile, skills and drills, tips and quips.
It is great to watch people I have schooled in media work like, Freddie Flintoff, Paula Radcliffe and Martin Johnson appearing on TV, plus various MPs and captains of industry, who have attended my courses.

How do you improve confidence?
Wednesday, 18 May 2011
It was my 50th birthday a short time ago and in looking back at films of me presenting television programmes for ITV and Channel Four I was surprised by my own confidence. I was able to stand up (or sit down), look to the cameras and perform.
Running a presentation training session, I began wondering how you can create at least a veneer of confidence (after all, if you can fake it, who can tell?).
