Presentation skills,
TED-style

The coaching option

As well as delivering training programmes on ‘Presentation skills, TED-style’ and other topics, Susie spends a significant amount of her time giving one-to-one coaching support to directors, senior managers and others keen to improve their presentation and public speaking skills.

The focus is on unlocking your full potential, working one-to-one to help you develop an understanding of your presentation style and the ability to enhance your natural presence in order to influence, persuade and converse. The sessions focus specifically on improving skills around concise, clear and deliberate communication, including active listening, increasing emotional awareness and decreasing performance anxiety (Susie is particularly good at helping people overcome severe stage fright).

Sessions are designed to empower, stimulate and relax, whilst maintaining an approach that can be challenging and transformational, in order to take you out of your comfort zone but within a safe environment. Working closely with Susie will encourage you, provide clarity, support your motivation and give you concise feedback to help get you performing at your full potential.

Personalise, humanise and energise your communication
become a better, more sincere and more inspirational leader
understand the needs of your audience

deliver a dynamic and compelling performance, one that has undeniable engagement and that packs a punch

Who will benefit?

Susie’s work often starts with a member of the leadership team recognising that they need to build an authentic personal narrative and that they require an independent, confidential partner to help them do this.

A wide range of people have benefited from this approach with her, including CEOs and directors and, beyond the boardroom, senior executives, media spokespeople, athletes and TV personalities.

Format

Six hours with Susie will make a huge difference. The sessions can be structured flexibly, to suit your schedule (and Susie’s) and the circumstances. They can be delivered entirely virtually, although ideally they’re held face-to-face (eg, six one-hour sessions, three or four weeks apart), but if that’s not possible then the first session could be, say, three hours face-to-face at a location to suit you and the rest via Zoom or whatever. Or just have two face-to-face sessions separated by a month or so. It’s up to you.

Is this the right service for you?

If you’re looking for one-to-one support, this should be just what you need.

If you’ve got a key presentation coming up, take a look first at Susie’s other coaching proposition, ‘Speechwriting’.

If you’ve got colleagues with the same requirement and you’re happy to work as a group, then Susie’s very popular one-day workshop, ‘Presentation skills, TED-style’ would be the most cost-effective option.

If you have colleagues who would also benefit from one-to-one coaching with Susie, then a ‘clinic’ style would make sense. In a single day, at your office, three of you could each have an in-depth two-hour one-to-one session with her. Susie’s based in central London but she works across the UK and internationally.

If you’ve got any requirements at all around presentation skills – whether that’s for an in-house training programme for a group of people, a bite-sized session, one-to-one coaching or a keynote conference presentation – then please just give us a call on 01582 463460 to talk it through.
