What if presenting didn’t have to feel like something to survive?
For a lot of people, “you’re presenting next” is enough to bring on a cold sweat. Most presentation training focuses on performance techniques, how to stand, how to speak, how to look confident, without ever touching the actual fear underneath.
This full-day, highly experiential workshop starts somewhere different: what you already do well as a presenter or communicator. From there, you’ll explore your “growing edges,” the areas you’d like to build on, whether that’s feeling more comfortable in the moment or connecting better with an audience. You’ll even leave with a video of yourself presenting, real evidence of how far you’ve moved in a single day.

What you’ll do
You’ll start by getting clear on what you already do well, whether that’s thoroughness, warmth, or the way you naturally connect with people, then use that as a platform to work on your growing edges. Real practice happens throughout the day, always by choice, in a small, supportive group where nobody’s pushed into anything before they’re ready.
You’ll learn simple frameworks for structuring your content and cutting the waffle, techniques for managing nerves in the moment, and how to handle audience questions and challenges with more ease. By the end, you’ll have a video of yourself presenting and specific, personalised feedback you can act on immediately, not just a better feeling about presenting in the abstract.
What happens when presenting feels natural
When people find their own way of presenting, everything changes:
- Nerves stop running the show, techniques do
- Presentations get structured around a clear purpose instead of just filling time
- Audiences get real engagement, not a performance
- People stop avoiding presenting opportunities and start seeking them out
- Confidence carries into other high-stakes conversations, not just the podium

“I learnt not to rely on PowerPoint as a safety blanket when giving presentations. Feel confident to speak to people as if you were chatting to a friend.”
Kerri Sharp, Founder
Benefits & results
The most immediate benefit is evidence: participants leave with a video of themselves actually presenting well, not just a feeling that the day went okay. But the deeper shift is in how people relate to presenting itself. Once nerves have techniques attached to them, presenting stops being something to survive and starts being something people can shape.
What your organisation gets
People who present with clarity, personality and purpose, to clients, stakeholders and senior leaders alike. Fewer people quietly dreading or avoiding presenting opportunities, and more who volunteer for them.

“Dom really helped build my confidence with standing in front of others to deliver a presentation. He gave us so many techniques to help combat the nerves.”

Why it matters
Most presentation training focuses on performance technique and skips straight past the fear that’s actually driving the avoidance.
– People dread presenting, avoid it where possible, or get through it without ever feeling good about it
– Nerves get treated as a personality flaw to hide, not something with real, learnable techniques to manage
– Without personalised feedback, people repeat the same habits presentation after presentation, never quite sure what to change
