Executive Presentation Skills Training

I am writing to thank you for the impact you have had on my career. I had the opportunity twice in the last month to present off-the-cuff to two separate groups of 20 or more individuals. In both cases I was tremendously successful and I owned the space in front of my audience. Each time I was asked afterwards if I presented for a living, which you will know I do not. In fact, you might remember our first workshop during which I was a shambles having to stand and present in front of a small number of peers and friends alike. In short, the guidance, training, and experience you have given me has allowed me to take my own skills development into my own hands and I am now looking for any opportunity whereby I can increase my presentation skills. I have confidence in my own ability to deliver a killer speech, and I am armed with a toolkit thanks to you that will allow me to grow from strength to strength. I work for a large multinational and have recently changed roles within. I now find there is an even greater demand on me to present in front of senior stakeholders and my ability to do so is with doubt having an impact on my career. This career change comes as I am closing out my MBA with Smurfit which you will recall, I chose initially because of your “Sample Lecture” two years ago. You impacted my decision to do my MBA with Smurfit and you have impacted my ability to overcome my presentation fears in a most glorious way. Because of these influences you have had a massive impact on my career and I am very grateful. If anyone is considering engaging you as a mentor, professional trainer, especially around the area of developing presentation and / or negotiation skills, please send them my way for a most sincere and strong recommendation.

Paul was very engaging and helpful. He had a wealth of knowledge and was eager to impart his wisdom to the group. The energy levels on the course were excellent. Personally, I found the course extremely beneficial to my limited presentation experience.

Through a 2-day public speaking training course, Paul was instrumental in helping me improve my public speaking capability. Paul taught me how to create a compelling, engaging and memorable presentation. He taught me the importance of good delivery, which is mainly in the preparation. The audience pays more attention when a presentation is just like a good story: with a structured beginning, middle and end; and that’s what I can now deliver. I have put Paul’s guidance into practice and I am very grateful for his advice and direction.

Paul delivered a training course to all customer facing members of the Equinix Ireland team. The remit was to present a programme which would give everybody the confidence to develop business relationships, on a personal and professional level, in a way which would enhance their image and the perception of the company in the eyes of the customer. This involved tweaking and developing sales and presentation skills. We as a management team were absolutely delighted with the results. A number of team members, who previously lacked confidence, have delivered internal and external presentations that were of a noticeably higher standard. We now have a team of people who can represent the company in all manner of presentation scenarios. The training also served as a team building exercise which was very positively received by all.

Paul is very knowledgeable on the subject matter. He has lots of insights and new experiences to share. I learnt so much it was a great two days.

I have recently done the “Corporate ovations” training and I have to say it is a complete game-changer. It is the most useful personal development course that I have done in the past few years. Paul is excellent presenter and delivered the content in very engaging way. The training gives you tips that you can actually use in practice. I am really happy with the way I deliver presentations now. The skills set gained from the training can be applied even in conversations when you want to make impact. I would highly recommend the training to anyone.
