At Speak Like A Pro we specialize in presentation and public speaking skills training. We're not a training company that offers courses on everything under the sun and simply drops presentation skills on to the list as an afterthought. We don't do anything else. As a wise man once said, 'Everyone is a specialist nowadays; generalists are just specialists in being superficial.'

Whether you have a heart-stopping fear of presenting, are inexperienced at presenting or speaking in public and looking to get a grasp of some basic skills to enable you to do it with confidence, or an experienced speaker looking to take your presentation skills to the next level, we have the training for you, delivered by a professional speaker.

Throughout this website you will find presentation skills tips, techniques and articles which will help you, as well as a wealth of examples on how to use rhetorical devices and techniques.

We can provide an in-house presentation skills seminar for your company or Executive Coaching for individuals or small groups on request. We also run presentation skills seminars for the public in the UK (London) the USA (Los Angeles, San Jose, New York, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, and Atlanta) and Canada (Toronto).

To arrange an in-house seminar for your company, contact us without obligation to discuss your requirements.

Why should you book your presentation skills training with us rather than one of the dozens of other companies that are on the web? Here are SIX reasons:

• My approach is different. I teach Whole-Brain Presenting™. Many presenters have a solid, well-prepared, businesslike message to deliver but fail to connect with the audience because their delivery is dry, predictable and boring. Others are exciting, interesting and motivational but you can’t remember a thing they said ten minutes after they sat down.
  

Both types make the mistake of speaking in a way that engages only half of their audience’s brains - either the left side (i.e. in a logical, factual, structured manner) or the right (in a creative, emotional way). The result is a presentation or speech that unsurprisingly often fails to achieve its objectives.

Whole-Brain Presenting™ uses Emotional Teleology™ to engage both sides of the brain by creating a blend of the best aspects of both styles. It’s logical, structured, organised and methodical while also being creative, exciting, emotional and memorable.

• I'm not a performing arts 'luvvie' who wants to help you get in touch with your inner child to help you express your emotions - I'm a professional speaker. I've even been called 'The speakers' speaker.'

• I'm not a former actor full of theory about how drama skills can be applied to the business world - I spent 15 years in sales and marketing with blue-chip companies in a variety of roles, from salesman to Sales & Marketing Director. I've done the time. I bear the scars.

• I'm not someone who's only ever 'talked the talk' in the classroom. I've walked the walk. I've done it for real. I've spoken to over 100,000 people over four continents in the last five years alone, (the largest audience was almost 5,000, the smallest was 12).

• The number of places on our 2-day seminars is restricted to 8, which means you get plenty of personal attention and hands-on training.

• We believe we offer the best value for money in the industry.
