‘We recently hired Steve to deliver presentation skills training to several members of our organisation, including the MD, sales and marketing teams, each with different requirements, in preparation for presenting at several different situations and business events. It was adapted for the needs of all of us. The programme was very well structured, and incorporated how to plan, structure and deliver an engaging presentation, with confidence and authority in any situation and handling nerves. There was plenty of practice, and I particularly liked the focus on how to construct the script, handling questions and developing a powerful and engaging presence. I have since presented confidently and successfully at several business events. I highly recommend Steve as a presentation trainer / coach.’ Diego Lunardi, Head of Sales, EMEA, Maximizer CRM
