"Thank you for all you did on the recent presentation course. You immediately won over some experienced team members and earned our utmost respect. We all spoke afterwards and we felt that there was much to add and re-think about the way we do things. I would recommend your courses to anyone who has to stand before others in a work situation."

What is included in our professional speaking courses?

An initial scoping meeting to understand your requirements

We will meet you either online or in person to fully understand the goals that you need to achieve through presentations and public speaking. We will listen, ask questions and share ideas to ensure that we can produce the ideal presentation skills training solution for your business.

Course content tailored specifically to your team

All of our courses are tailored to the individuals involved within each session. The content and examples used will vary depending on the existing skill level and confidence of each participant. We will even contact all participants before the session to understand their ambitions and any particular areas that they would like us to focus on.

Workbooks and access to exclusive support content for all attendees

All attendees will be provided with a unique workbook during the session. Afterwards they will have access to all recordings from the training, as well as a library of Rich Public Speaking resources to use as they practice their public speaking throughout the year.

An online follow-up session after the training

All attendees will be entitled to an hour-long follow up session after the training. This is their opportunity to report back on progress, ask questions and receive additional feedback and training now that they have had the chance to practice what they have learned!

A specialised training venue

Some organisations prefer that the training is delivered offsite in a centralised or specialist training venue. We have access to a network of suitable sites across the country and can provide a venue to suit your specific needs. Some organisations have even asked us to create multi-day team training sessions, with over night stays and evening entertainment!
