Workshops and coaching
Practical training for real communication challenges
Choose a focused workshop, combine several topics into a one-day programme or commission a tailored series for your team.
Every session is built around the audience, the message and the person delivering it. Participants learn through explanation, examples, exercises, coached practice and feedback.
Present with presence, clarity and confidence
A presentation is a performance – not because you need to become an actor, but because your voice, body and commitment shape how the message is received.
Topics include
- Preparing physically and mentally to speak
- Posture, movement, gesture and eye contact
- Vocal pace, pitch, tone, emphasis and silence
- Connecting facts with emotion and relevance
- Recovering naturally from mistakes
- Rehearsing effectively
Participants leave with
- A practical warm-up and preparation routine
- Clear delivery techniques to practise
- Coached experience of performing and revising a short presentation
Build a visual story that supports the speaker
There is no universal rule for the perfect slide. The right deck depends on the audience, the meeting and how the material will be used.
Topics include
- Presentation, document and teleprompter differences
- Narrative structure and meaningful slide titles
- Chunking and controlling information
- Grids, alignment and visual hierarchy
- Matching detail to the audience
- Practical PowerPoint techniques
Participants leave with
- A clearer plan for the presentation

- Practical techniques for improving an existing deck
Keep people involved when the room becomes a screen
Online delivery uses familiar communication skills, but the camera, interface and meeting roles change how the audience experiences them.
Topics include
- Synchronous and asynchronous communication
- Body language, eye contact and voice for video
- Camera, lighting and audio fundamentals

- Building a show flow
Participants leave with

Turn repeated explanations and demonstrations into useful video
Technical videos work when the objective, audience and story are clear before recording begins.
Topics include
- Choosing the right content for asynchronous video
- Planning the audience, message and visual story
- Structuring demonstrations and user journeys
- Writing for speech
- Camera, lighting, audio and desk setup
- Recording, editing and review
Participants leave with
- A workable plan and talk track

Explain complex ideas while thinking with the audience
Whiteboarding lets you reveal information gradually, ask questions and build the explanation around the audience’s response.
Topics include
- Choosing when a whiteboard is the right medium
- Drawing clear, consistent shapes and icons
- Establishing a visual key

- Building a visual story step by step
- Speaking and moving while drawing
Participants leave with
- A reusable planning approach

Connect what something does with why it matters
Facts establish credibility. A purposeful story helps the audience understand the problem, recognise the value and remember the message.

One-to-one coaching
Bring a real presentation, pitch, demonstration or keynote. We will work on the audience, message, structure, visual support and delivery, then rehearse the sections that matter most.
Tailored team programmes
Combine modules around a specific business need, from presentation performance and slide design to storytelling, whiteboarding and technical video.
The design starts with who needs to communicate, what the audience needs to understand and which situations matter most.
Frequently asked questions
Before you book
Is the training only for keynote speakers?
No. Everyday team updates, customer conversations, demonstrations, project reviews, webinars and whiteboards still need a clear message and confident delivery.
Do you help with the slides or the speaker?
Both. We can work on the audience, message, structure and visual support as well as voice, body language, pace and rehearsal.
Is this suitable for technical material?
Yes. The work is particularly relevant when a presenter understands a complex subject and needs to explain it to people with different levels of knowledge.
Can you work with an existing company deck?
Yes. We can adapt existing material for a particular audience and delivery situation while respecting your organisation’s brand requirements.
Can workshops be delivered online?
Yes. The format and exercises are adapted to the online environment. Some practical performance and whiteboarding sessions may benefit from in-person delivery.
How long is a workshop?
Duration depends on the objectives, group size and amount of coached practice. A focused session can address one topic; several modules can form a one-day course or longer programme.
Can you tailor the content to our team?
Yes. The programme can be shaped around your team’s audiences, common presentation situations and existing material.
What does your team need to communicate?
Tell us about the audience, the situation and the outcome you need. We will suggest a focused workshop or tailored programme.
