Presentation Skills Training

Whether addressing a small group around a meeting table or a large crowd in an auditorium, the performance of a presenter is paramount to the effectiveness of any presentation.  The content of a presentation is important, but if not delivered effectively, the opportunity may be lost.

This training package aims to build the performance skills of a presenter by encouraging self-analysis and capitalising on existing strengths. Sometimes it can take only a few small tweaks to become an engaging and effective speaker.

Participants are asked to bring a prepared presentation, or excerpt, to the session.

The format of the training can be tailored to suit the needs of participants i.e. in interactive workshop-style groups or intensive, discreet, one-on-one sessions for individuals.

Our training covers the following topics:

  • What makes a good presentation
  • Self-assessment
  • Understanding your objectives and audience
  • Presentation techniques – pace, tools, tone, nerves
  • Run through of a presentation by each participant (recorded)
  • Watch and learn
  • Take Two – each participant repeats their presentation (recorded)
  • Follow up – notes provided for each participant around learnings and areas for growth and a follow up session is held

Recordings are available to take away.

Media Coaching

How an organisation responds to and manages media enquiries can have a strong impact on its brand – both positive and negative.

Before embarking on a proactive media relations program, it is important your spokespeople undergo media training to ensure all opportunities are maximised and key messages are effectively communicated. This is also critically important in the event of any negative situations that could or do arise.

Our media training sessions are tailored to each client’s needs and include scenarios specific to your business.

Our practical training and coaching will provide you and your team with the skills to make the most of every interview opportunity, confidently delivering the organisation’s key messages while protecting your reputation as a whole.

Writing for the Web

The way people read on the web is very different to print, proven via eye-tracking research and a multitude of studies. People are coming to your website to find information, so not giving your content the attention it deserves can result in your site being a wasted investment.

We provide training in how to write for the medium, be compelling and achieve results.

Our 3-hour training session for up to 3 people covers:

  • SEO (search engine optimisation) – to ensure your content can be found on search engines like Google, including keyword research and on page elements such as title tags, heading tags, meta descriptions and more
  • Accessibility – trying to make your content accessible to people of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, e.g. the vision impaired
  • Best practice – following website standards which ensure usability and help make your website frictionless for your users
LinkedIn Training

Technology is constantly changing, which means the way businesses and brands market themselves is changing too. While social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram are great tools for connecting with your customers, they can be less effective in marketing your business to other businesses or potential employees. That’s where LinkedIn comes in.

When used successfully, LinkedIn can be an invaluable tool for job searching and recruiting, career development and networking, and business to business marketing. Whether you’re a company with hundreds of employees or a small family run business, there are many benefits in having a personal presence and company page.

LinkedIn allows you to tell your story, showcase your success, build your brand, help potential employees and customers find you, nurture your reputation, and promote your business. With over 600 million professional profiles on LinkedIn and 30 million company profiles, the opportunities are endless.

As digital specialists, we will guide you through using the LinkedIn platform both personally and professionally. We’ll also share expert tips and tricks to help you get the most out of the platform and maximise your return on investment.

Our 3-hour training session for up to 4 people covers:

  • Overview of LinkedIn
  • How to use LinkedIn to build a personal brand and customer relationships
  • How to use LinkedIn for professional networking
  • How to use LinkedIn for business marketing
  • How to use LinkedIn for social selling
  • A take home copy of the training presentation

Post-training support can be provided for an additional fee. For instance, we can provide support reviewing and updating your persona or company page.
