Irresistible Presentations - Shelle's new program!

Presenting in public remains one of the most difficult challenges in professional life.  Who hasn't had stage fright at some point?  How can you convince an audience of skeptics and naysayers?  What if you could deliver a clear, motivating and elegant message with ease?

Objectives:

• Dramatically improve your presentation skills
• Master presentation strategies to have a lasting impact for your audience, at both conscious and below-conscious levels
• Manage your own and your audience's emotions to create a powerfully positive environment
• Learn how to structure a presentation to maximize impact and results
• Use advanced NLP skills to make your presentations irresistible!

Excellent course!  Really develop skills; does increase confidence.  Well run, congruent - anticipated the audiences' needs (yes, each member), and addressed them.  Quite a feat for anyone - Shelle is raunchy, stylish and sensitive all rolled into one.  Great experience."

- Barbara Woodrow, Deputy Director of Nursing, National Health Service

Shelle I just wish to re-iterate my thanks for your warmth, expertise and manner in which you cared for everyone and left us with so very much - not many can do that."

- Richard Bate, National Coach, The Football Association

Here's what participants said weeks after the program:

"I do feel more confident.  The most useful tip Shelle gave me was to remember to focus on the audience's needs not my own anxieties and that has been very liberating.  Also I think the concept of realising you have to meet the audience where they are rather than where you want them to be was very helpful and to me, as a relative novice, a new idea."

"Shelle delivered the opportunity to clarify my understanding on many topics, furthermore I gained new learnings, most notably, the traits of "credibility" which have greatly added to my tool kit of techniques."

"My presentations, whether large (about a hundred) or small (groups of five or six) have had an extra level of impact and power, evidenced by verbal feedback, and personal observation of audience state."

"Very positive.  I found the overcoming objections at the beginning made a difference as well as reducing some of the scepticism for material delivered to an audience who've had a 'must attend'from their manager"

"I loved the balance and focus created on providing the best experience for the audience rather than spending too much time on the characteristics of the presenter.  I found the experience both enjoyable and useful with immediate application and benefits upon returning to the 'day job'"

"I thought the storyboard/metaphor aspect was very powerful and I thought the structure we practiced is a very useful tool for us to take with us.  I enjoyed the learning environment/atmosphere and the location was very good for me."
