Inspirational Presentation Masterclass

One day

The secrets of powerful and memorable presentations unlocked

This one-day training works on the whole person, showing you how to think clearly and how to convey your ideas effectively. It is different from other courses: it draws on both the special techniques that professional actors use to keep their audiences enthralled, and powerful tools that will make you stand out in the business world.

Ken and his team not only understand how to inspire audiences – they can help you make your speeches and presentations persuasive, memorable and inspiring. You will learn how to structure a presentation for maximum impact and rapport, and how to strengthen your voice, body language and stage presence. Through video recordings, exercises and individual feedback, you’ll have enough practice to be able to apply your new skills in the workplace immediately.

Delivered by two trainers (including Ken), the training is customised to suit the specific needs of you and your organisation. Whatever stage you’re at, it will help you step up to a higher level to project your new authentic style with confidence and natural authority.
