“Honestly it was the best class/workshop I’ve ever attended. I see no room for improvements. Nick was amazing on how he delivered the material and how he was able to keep everyone’s attention for the duration of the 2 day course. Kudos to Nick!”– John Chomko, McKesson

SIX REASONS why you should select us for your training:
“I learned so much over the 2 days. I’ve already been integrating many of the tactics into my presentations and can see and hear the difference in how I come across to my audience” … Kristin Hunt, FirstAm
Why should you book your presentation skills/public speaking training with us rather than one of the dozens of other companies that are on the web providing presentation skills training? Here are SIX good 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/presenting 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.
It engages 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 big, blue-chip companies in a variety of roles, from salesman to Sales & Marketing VP. I’ve done the time. I bear the scars. I know your world. I know what it’s like to present the November numbers to the Regional Sales managers on a wet Friday afternoon in a motel meeting room in Boise Idaho.
- I’m not someone who’s only ever ‘talked the talk’ in the classroom like so many other presentation training coaches. 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). I’ve made (literally) hundreds of business presentations, just like the ones you make.
- The number of places on a 2-day effective presentation skills class or seminar 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 presentation skills training in the industry.
