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.

Why presentation training matters
Thursday, 2 February 2012
Presenting yourself is a hugely important and often unavoidable part of business. From having your voice heard in meetings to pitching for work, delivering training and job interviews, it’s important to get your message across clearly and succinctly.
Presentation training can provide you with the skills and techniques to improve your performance when speaking to an audience. Whether you are a seasoned public speaker or fearful at the thought of presenting, professional training can help you to build the skills and confidence needed to speak effectively and to give you or your company an advantage.

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.

Dress for Success
Tuesday, 1 November 2011
I regularly spend an hour or so with young people who want to break into the media industry.
I remember my own early days and the people who spend time talking to me – so I think it’s the least I can do. Especially in these tough financial times.
So a few weeks ago I was with a very impressive young graduate who wants to be a journalist. She’ll get there, but it did start us wondering whether there are aspects of ‘how to present yourself’ that we can help with.
So we developed a course, exactly to meet those demands. And I’m delighted to say it’s already working as evidenced by the thank you emails.
So how do you present yourself?
