One-to-One vs Group Training: Why It Matters
• Fully tailored — the whole session is built around your presentation, your audience and your challenges
• Private — no pressure to perform in front of colleagues while you’re still finding your feet
• Faster progress — coaching moves at your pace, so time isn’t spent on issues that don’t apply to you
• Conference keynotes and panels — polish high-profile talks where reputation is on the line
• Direct feedback — your coach reviews your specific content, slides or video and gives feedback line by line
What You’ll Walk Away Able to Do
• Executive presence — projecting authority the moment you stand up or switch on the camera
• Clarity and structure — a message that’s easy to follow, even under time pressure
• Clarity under pressure — staying structured and credible even when questions get tough
• Storytelling — using narrative to make financial or technical detail land with a non-specialist audience
• Body language and vocal delivery — sounding and looking confident, not just saying the right words
• Handling nerves — practical techniques for overcoming stage fright before a high-stakes presentation
• Thinking on your feet — staying composed and credible when questions get difficult
“I could feel that the audience was listening to me…. Two people (separately) ..congratulated me on an excellent speech…. “
“Thank you so much for an absolutely brilliant session yesterday! It was exactly what we were hoping for, and you did an incredible job covering such a range of issues with four very different people in such a short session. It really was fantastic – thank you!”
We’ve worked one-to-one with senior leaders including Susannah Hardyman, CEO of Action Tutoring, ahead of a keynote speech at the RSA, and with management teams at businesses such as Bamboo Capital Partners preparing for investor meetings. The common thread: a private, focused session built entirely around one real, upcoming presentation.
Each one-to-one programme is built around the core areas of a strong presentation: starting with impact, engaging the audience, projecting confidence, using slides well, conveying complex information clearly, using language that lands, applying rhetorical technique and closing with impact. Sessions include extensive role play and, where useful, review of previous presentation video to identify exactly what to change — from pacing and posture to how a story is told.
“Highly effective working with members of management teams on how to communicate key messages to potential interested parties in different environments.”
