Testimonials
“Such a positive learning experience. I feel my confidence has increased and that the skills I have learned here will be so valuable to me as a trainer/presenter. Thank you Michelle for your generosity. I could have done 3 more days!”
Every speaker, presenter and/or person who needs to influence/impact others should do this course. It is packed with great content, practical ideas and the opportunity to try it out in a supportive environment and get instant and helpful feedback. Michelle you are a fabulous trainer! The 13 steps are a great structure and I enjoyed the time to practice the 13 steps in pairs as well as the great practical tips and examples giving you everything you need to know about speaking/presenting/influencing/selling. It was a great training environment – food, room set up etc.
Excellent! I was a sceptic, now a convert! This course had changed the way I think about structure and the build of presentations – especially the open and close. I loved the energy and pace as well as the swift progress and building blocks.
Awesome…Fantastic…challenging… inclusive…so much more than just prep for your next conference.
Brilliant! I’ve been using Michelle’s proven techniques for many years and have even taught much of her system to my various team members to enable them to increase their success.
My experience of Michelle’s training has far exceeded my expectations as a result of Michelle’s approach, unique and highly engaging style. All people in business looking to influence others and achieve better outcomes should allow themselves the time to learn a new technique and grow as a result of this program.
A personal note from Michelle
The good news when you’re deciding which presentation skills training you should attend is you don’t have to put yourself through embarrassing role plays, humiliating impromptu presenting or red-faced, cringe-worthy moments to become a fantastic presenter. It’s not necessary to learn acting techniques that take away your authenticity and make you look fake or over the top. And you definitely don’t need a PowerPoint course.If you want to be a better presenter you need an experienced adult educator with the skills to both teach you and manage the group dynamic. You need an expert in persuasive business presentation skills: someone who understands the art and the science, the theory and the practice that underpins excellent business presenting. You need someone who can guarantee you the results you are looking for no matter your stage or experience. You need to learn, laugh, practice, then learn and laugh some more. Please don’t put it off another day. Take the action you need to present your ideas so people sit up and listen when you speak. Come and work with me – I look forward to meeting you and helping you soon…
