Reviews

Presentation Skills Training Reviews:



CUA Australia

"Scott had prepared a tailored program based on a conversation we had prior to the commencement of the original date and it was spot on with what we were after."


"Scott presented very professionally and made the day both very informative and extremely fun! The team was able to have a great time as well as picking up on valuable skills which we will be able to use not only as we give presentations but also in our general communications. The examples and experience which was shared was first rate and extremely relevant."


"The value in the day came as there were some exercises which we undertook which allowed us develop more as a team and also provided some great examples of the types of behaviours and practices we should employ daily. We have even discussed introducing a couple of the activities into our weekly meetings to keep the skills sharp."


"At lunch we were able to discuss the nature of our upcoming presentations with the trainer and he tailored the rest of the afternoon to meet the needs we had."


-CUA


Kingspan Insulated Panels Pty Ltd

"Extremely well-presented content in a short period. Have recommended that we take further modules with Joseph."


"I thought Joe did a great job in getting the salient points across in the given time constraints. I thought that the course was a very good refresher and I learnt a few new things along the way."


-Kingspan Insulated Panels Pty Ltd



City of Gold Coast

"Having only ever executed a presentation in an open forum once, should the need for me arise to give a presentation and using powerpoint (which I haven't done at all in the past), I now know the basic skills required. The course trainer was very capable at conveying her messaging and keep the participants involved and interested in the subject matter."


-City of Gold Coast


Family and Community Services Aboriginal Housing Office

"Jen's passion for the subject matter and her vast experience as a communication expert made the course a truly valuable use of my time."


"Jen was amazing! I learnt lots and look forward to reviewing the additional personalised information she provided on the day. She has given got me excited about teaching new things to my team!"


-The Pharmacy Guild Of Australia


BackOffice Associates Australia Pty Ltd

"I got a valuable training from Joe. He is so enthusiastic in delivering and coaching facilitation and presentation skills to BOA. Appreciate the all the content and structure from him."


"Joseph introduced us to a number of communication concepts that are otherwise either not well-known or taken for granted by many people. In doing this, he also roasted nearly every company's ability to present a PowerPoint, including our own, and everyone loved listening to his commentary."


-BackOffice Associates Australia Pty Ltd


Stihl Pty Ltd

Connect very well and took a lot out of what was said. Compared to other presentation skills course, I felt I took the most out of this one. It wasn't dry and remained interesting throughout the presentation.

-Stihl Pty Ltd




Schindler Lifts

"Peter was a very enthusiastic trainer and catered to our individual area's for improvement. I would strongly recommend Peter to conduct more training for our organisation. I have already heard positive feedback about one of the participants who had to deliver a presentation to his management group. Chalk and Cheese compared to previous presentations."


-Schindler Lifts

Download Course Outline (PDF)

To be a successful, professional presenter you need to be able to capture your audience and take them on the journey by using effective presentations, story-telling, interactive facilitation and of course engaging content. Good information, great ideas or the best of intentions only gets you half-way there. 

Positioning yourself and your ideas in a consistently positive and professional manner enables you to make a professional impression the first time and every time.  Raw information is logical, but being logical does not capture or hold anyone’s attention for too long. Persuasive presentations start with raw information, then opinions are added and enhanced with creative imagery and given personality by the presenter. The more of the mind you tickle, the more retention and motivation you reap. 

This 2-day Presentation Skills Training Program will teach you how to prepare effective presentations, and how to utilise the best method(s) for delivering your message while maintaining your audience's interest at all times.

In-House Training - We’ll focus on what matters most to you and tailor to your context


Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

live online & hybrid

We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
