Speak with Presence
Communicate with Power
*Next Intake Closes 31 Jan 2025
We are sick of wasting opportunities!
The number one complaint Senior Leaders have are they're leaders are not converting...
Executives are failing to present strategies with clarity and confidence
People Leaders and Project Managers are failing to mobilise and inspire their people
Account Managers and Business Development Managers are failing to influence their clients
...and Senior Leaders themselves are struggling to hold court in meetings and conferences
One HR Lead told me, "Leadership is all about perception". I dislike this idea. But, what if they are right?
What if every time a leader presents to an audience it is their only moment to instill confidence in others? This may be truer than any we are willing to admit.
It does not inspire confidence when presentations are boring, bland, and delivered with hesitance. Senior Leaders and Decision Makers not only lose confidence in the proposals, but they also lose confidence in the person.
A self-feeding loop of doubt and inferiority is created in many talented people. All because critical communication tenets are not being practiced.
The crazy thing is - they are easy to learn and can be adapted to any personality type.
The Communicate Like a Pro Coaching Program is a safe and intimate one-on-one program designed to guide the most intimidated and introverted leader through their worst nightmare (presenting). And, don't forget the charismatic and extraverted - they carry their own demons of expectation and self-worth to slay when it comes to public speaking.
No longer will businesses waste precious opportunities every single day with meagre meetings, pitches, and conference sessions. No longer will talented leaders have their career paths clipped because they are 'good but can't talk'.
And, most importantly - we can start enjoying these moments rather than dreading them.
Learn how to create fun, engaging, and strategic presentations to an audience of...
One - pitching to a Client, a Boss, or a Team Member
A few - chair meetings with colleagues, Senior Leaders, Decision Makers and Clients
Many - present on stage at the Company Conference, Industry Events and Client Showcases

Why
Communicate Like a Pro
Works
Clever and experienced people finding it hard to communicate are encouraged onto Presentation Skills Training. Often this helps, but doesn't stick!
Learning Presentation Skills has its problems:
Solutions are formulaic - they are limited and lack adaptability
Solutions are outdated - tools are no longer relevant and can lead to 'death-by-PowerPoint' scenarios
Solutions are shallow - core issues undermining self-confidence are not addressed
This Program Is Not a Presentation Skills Program!
Communicate Like a Pro is exactly what it says on the tin...
Paul individualises the experience to every single participant
Paul applies an end-to-end solution embedding confidence for people to take on any brief
Paul uses adaptable frameworks usable with every audience size, seniority and stakeholder interaction
On top of all of this, Paul provides something no else does:
Individual attention to build real world presentations live in session. You'll co-author, practice and hone your communications ensuring maximum confidence when you 'hit the room'.
