24/04/2015: Transform your ability to become a brilliant presenter in one day with world experts – 30% discount | Event

Conquer your fear of public speaking and presenting with Philip Collins

Speaking and presenting in public is one of the great fears and it can really hold excellent people back in their careers. We can help to take away your anxiety and boost your career. We are not going to promise to turn you into Barack Obama in a single day. That will take at least a week! But we can pledge to give you the material you need to have the confidence that will make you a really competent presenter and public speaker who gets heard. We can give you what you need to stop worrying. We can teach you what to present and how to present it. Many courses teach you the second but not the first. With us you get both. That is our unique method which has been developed with global leaders from Government and the corporate sectors.

Who should attend

This is a day for anyone who has to present to colleagues, clients, boards and conferences. If you ever have to get to your feet to inform, persuade or inspire and the thought fills you with dread, this is a day designed for you. Training days can also be a bit serious but we promise learning and a laugh (and a glass of wine).
