Mindful presenting is far more than simply sharing facts, data, knowledge and insights. It’s about crafting and delivering our presentation content mindfully, in a way that will make a tangible difference to the lives of our audience. Mindful presenting is about creating a higher level of awareness, focus and presence of the way we speak and the impact we have on ourselves and our audience when we do. It equips, empower and inspired presenters to speak with greater confidence and authenticity.

Many people think that great public speakers must be born that way because they make it look so easy. The truth is, it’s not easy; they have just spent a great deal of time, energy and effort focusing on learning and developing the skill. It is a learned skill that we can all develop. At Mindful Presenter we believe that not only is it within our gift to speak with confidence, clarity and impact but that we owe it to ourselves and others to find, value and express our true voice. If you have the desire and commitment to learn, anyone can become a good speaker.

Absolutley! The fear of public speaking is notoriously one of the most common phobias in the world today. There is however a great number of things that you can do to manage and overcome that fear. Our first challenge is to understand, accept and respect the fact that some level of anxiety when speaking in public or presenting is entirely normal. Mindful presenting is the path to managing and overcoming the fear of public speaking.

Whether you are a nervous and novice presenter or an experienced public speaker Mindful Presenter works with a wide range of clients, from global blue-chip companies to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as public sector organizations like government bodies, schools, and charities. Our public speaking courses and one to one coaching is suitable for anyone who wants to present with greater confidence and impact to colleagues or clients in any setting.

Yes, completely! We do not like or believe in a one-size fits all approach to training. Our presentation courses and one to one public speaking coaching sessions are tailored to meet your challenges, objectives and aspirations. We will discuss these with you directly through a short Zoom call and the send you an online questionnaire to complete to enable us to create the best, bespoke learning experience for you.

We limit our public speaking and presentation training courses to 6 people. Our courses are very interactive and allow plenty of time for each participant to present themselves and receive lots of coaching and feedback.

Our tailored, in-house presentation courses and public speaking workshops are held at our cllients own premises. If that's not possible or appropriate we we lead the workshop virtually through Zoom. Our open, public speaking courses for individuals are held in central London. Our one to one public speaking coahcing sessions are held face to face at the clients premises if they have a suitable space in London. Outside of London we coach online, virtually through Zoom.

There are a vast number or personal and professional reasons why people attend our training and coaching classes. Here are some common ones: To overcome their fear of public speaking and presenting. To connect emotionally with their audience as well as intellectually. To create a personal impact and be remembered for the right reasons. To develop their own personal confidence and belief as a speaker. To be more influential in their company, industry and marketplace. To lead a team, department or business more inspirationally. To engage, excite and inspire others. To get their message across clearly, confidently and concisely. To climb the career ladder. To overcome bad public speaking and presenting habits.

We understand completely and it's highly likely that you won't be alone with the feeling on one of our courses. Our intention is to create a safe, open, confidential and fun learning experience where you are supported every step of the way. You will never be asked to do something you really don't want to do. Our trainers have felt the nerves that you experience and have learned to manage and overcome it and they will help you to do the same.

The optimum number of people for the best possible learning experience in our one day public speaking course is 6 people. We can train a maximum of 10 people in our 2 day training course, 'The Complete Mindful Presenter'. If you have a much larger team who you would like to learn at the same time we would build a half day seminar for you. This would share the powerful principles of mindful presenting but does not allow time for the team to present themselves to recieve personal coaching and feedback.

Our whole life is a story when you stop for a moment to really think about it. We are constantly telling stories to each other at home, at work and even to people that we meet for the first time. In its simplest form, storytelling is using words, actions and pictures to communicate in way that builds rapport, stimulates imagination and connect us with others. In public speaking and presenting one of the most powerful ways to connect emotionally with an audience and inspire action is through storytelling.

When used effectively PowerPoint and other visual aid software can add considerable value to a presentation. The only reason they receive such bad press is because too many presenters smother their slides in words and data. The old saying ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ has stood the test of time because most of us connect with pictures. The time to use PowerPoint, Keynote, Prezi or any other software is when you are certain that the idea or message you are presenting demands more than words to help you to connect with your audience.

The major distinction between the one and 2-day workshop is immersion. The second day creates the space and time to explore the key elements critical to high impact presenting in far greater depth. We’ll use real presentation scenarios from your business, specifically tailored to reflect the challenges you face and your personal objectives. Each participant is given far more time to ‘stand and deliver’, receiving in-depth, practical and personal feedback.

If you would rather work in a more private setting, we also offer one to one public speaking coaching sessions. These are individual, 2-hour personal sessions. There is no fixed agenda for our coaching sessions in terms of what we focus on, as each individual and session is entirely different based on personal challenges and objectives. This is something we would learn more about through setting up a discussion before booking a session. Each coaching session can be held virtually via zoom, although if you would prefer to work in-person and you have a suitable meeting room at offices in London, we would be very happy to come to you, to work face to face.

That depends very much on your personal challeges, objectives and aspirations. Many of our clients choose just one or two sessions.
