Presentation Skills Training
Follow in the footsteps of some of the world's biggest names with help from star presentation coach, Glenn Kinsey
What if you could just get up and talk? But more than that...
The right words just came to you. And it flowed, connecting with everyone, not someone. People paid attention. It felt natural because it was natural. You didn't need notes and your preparation time was minutes rather than hours.
As a result, whether they liked you or not, they actively listened and you got
their respect.
You looked, sounded and felt like a leader.
This is what I've been showing people how to do for the past 30 years. You may not have heard of me but chances are you've listened to a speaker coached by me.
From the world's most famous to the world's most anonymous. TV stars, Presidents, billionaires, Olympians, CEO's. Professionals, teenagers, pensioners, business owners. For some, I'm their best kept secret.
My clients are different, so my training's different. But whether they're new or seasoned public speakers, they all have one thing in common - good enough isn't enough. They want exceptional results in the shortest possible time.
If that sounds like you, you've come to the right place.
"You've become an essential part of our pitch preparations"
"Feel happy to say I look forward to Saturday's now - thanks again"
"We were hired because of your coaching"
"Everybody gave their best presentation ever!"
"An enormous thank you"
"Remarkable improvement of every single person... inspirational"
"They looked like they belonged on the stage"
"Invaluable help gratefully received"
"Measurable results from a 4 hour session"
"Channel 4 regularly use and recommend Glenn for developing talent"
"The best thing I have ever done"
"Improvement in a matter of hours"
"Invaluable to our business - no hesitation in recommending Glenn"
"I'd still be at the starting blocks without all your help"
Overview
What I do
Specialist presentation skills training For anyone whose ability to communicate well is crucial to their success
One-to-one or groups For all levels including new, experienced and seasoned public speakers
Rapid, lasting results Delivering significant improvements for even the most skilled speakers, in hours not days
Leaders a speciality From the most anonymous to the most famous. And if you're not a leader right now, I'll show you how to deliver like one
Genuinely different My approach is unlike any other. No fluff, no nonsense, just powerful results
No results, no fee guarantee If I don't get results or you're unhappy in any way, you don't pay
Why most presentation skills training doesn't work
Today's audiences are sophisticated
With experience of countless meetings, presentations and TV on tap, our bullsh*t detectors are finely tuned. We just know when someone isn't comfortable. We know when they're not being straight with us. And we know when the style of delivery doesn't match the message. We can feel it
Traditional presentation skills theory is often to blame
Armed with a list of "do's and don'ts", speakers become over-prepared "actors" playing the part of public speakers and fail to connect with their audience. It looks false, feels false and sounds false
Think of the best speakers you've seen
I'd wager they're conversational in style, delivering in a convincing, effortless way even when they're in a formal environment. Showing you how to make this happen is where I shine
Why you should break the rules
If you or your brand are being presented as a leader...
you must deliver like a leader
And true leaders stand out from the crowd
They inspire. They're not over-rehearsed, nor too polished. They articulate with a clarity that's understood by all, rather than resort to convoluted corporate-speak. They deliver from the heart, like naturally gifted communicators, rather than formally trained ones
You've got these qualities already
If you're in a leadership position, you're probably a strong communicator, even if you don't realise it. Because to rise up the ladder, you've had to negotiate, motivate and captivate - weak communicators don't tend to get on
The problem is that you've typically built these skills
in one-to-one meetings, learning on the job rather than on a more public stage. And, when it comes to formal presentation settings, you're failing to transfer these natural abilities, instead presenting like many of those around you - badly
This is what I'm good at
showing you how to effortlessly "be yourself" in the high stress environment that often accompanies a formal presentation, leaving you with the ability to say the right thing, in the right way, at the right time
After coaching with me you can expect
A massive boost in confidence and competence
with presentations delivered in a "conversational style" that just "feels right"
Minimum preparation, maximum impact
You'll drastically cut your preparation time yet achieve greater impact
Authenticity
The very personality that's got you where you are today is preserved, not diluted. And delivery feels effortless and natural
I won't need to come back
I work quickly and permanently. My coaching is designed so you experience it once and reap the benefits far into the future, being able to apply it to any formal or informal presentation
Bottom-line results
Whatever you're selling - be it your message, your service or your business - your investment in coaching will deliver a return; as my kind testimonials and case studies continually demonstrate
Content
Built around you
Each session is unique Tailored specifically to match your needs, background and the results you're trying to achieve
Your place or mine One to one or group settings. At your venue or my London, UK training studio
Flexible duration To suit your needs. From a few hours to a full day's group workshop, or a series of short sessions
How
Almost 100% practical, learn-by-doing approach
with no dreary lectures or textbook theories
Building confidence through proof
with recording and playback, you'll immediately see the measurable effects of the coaching on both confidence and competence
I give you what you need, not what you already know
My training style is sufficiently flexible and advanced to ensure I go at your pace, instead of working within a rigid structure. This means your time is maximised for optimal benefit and cost effectiveness
And, if your training is in a group setting
...coaching is still predominantly 1 to 1 meaning I can simultaneously challenge and deliver value to both experienced and inexperienced speakers alike. And, by working as a group, participants can collectively pick up subtle nuances and techniques by experiencing their colleagues' differing approaches and skills
You'll receive a professional recording
of all the practical exercises, vividly illustrating your growth throughout the training
You'll also receive an individually-tailored, smartphone-friendly "aide memoire"
highlighting the specific conclusions and key points of the coaching and - clients tell us - a wonderful boost when referred to immediately prior to a presentation
"Advice for life"
My clients - whenever they feel they need it - have access to unlimited informal advice, giving re-assurance, a confidence boost and broad-based guidance prior to any key presentation

Little-known techniques to ensure everyone is attentively listening, even before you speak

“I’ve started… now I’ll finish”
The very best ways to begin and end your presentations with maximum influence and impact. And all without resorting to staid platitudes or cheesy stories
Dodge “Death by PowerPoint”
Bringing your presentation and its content alive by using slides as an enhancement instead of a crutch. When to use them and what to put on them
Minimum preparation, maximum impact
Challenging the common theory that “preparation is everything” and showing how your presentations can be better, not worse, by severely cutting back on your preparation
Banish the nerves for good
Common-sense strategies for ridding yourself of the needless fears that often accompany a formal presentation. And all without the use of the likes of gimmicky breathing exercises and mumbo-jumbo self-talk
The one main reason...
Why otherwise confident speakers can be struck by debilitating nerves on the platform, curbing their natural conversational style. And, if this is you, how to turn your presentations around instantly
Why come to me?
If this is what you're looking for
Speedy results
A fresh, unconventional and unique approach that gets results – fast. I tend to work with very busy people so have to deliver in a matter of hours not days. Check out my case studies to see what I can achieve
No drama school theatrics
Unlike the traditional approach, I won’t show you how to “put on an act”. Instead, we'll leverage the reason you were hired in the first place - your unique personalities and skills
Creating leaders, not "public speakers"
I constantly challenge the standard list of “do’s and don’ts” which suggest there’s only one way to make a successful presentation. You know the kind of thing - "rehearse, rehearse, rehearse", "top 5 tips", "here's some breathing exercises to free the inner you" etc. Whilst well-meaning, I believe much of it is nonsense in the real world.
Embracing your personality
Instead, I'll show you how to successfully take advantage of your own distinctive, conversational style - in other words, be the best you can possibly be. Leaders in all fields tend to have reached their position through thinking, behaving and communicating differently. So we'll capitalise on your unique personality, not stifle it
I flick the switch
You may not realise this but you already know how to deliver a fantastic presentation. You don't need off the shelf workbooks, cheesy mnemonics or five-point plans. But you do need a coach that can help you get to that "aha!" moment in the shortest possible time. I'm really good at instinctively knowing how to flick that switch
Spotting one of my clients is difficult
We've all seen a mechanical, over-trained speaker. Whilst technically perfect, they lack the depth and connection needed to lead. My clients don't look like they've had any training. That's because they tend to appear like "natural communicators", at ease with themselves and their audience, inspiring the trust needed to influence and engage
Proven track record
Over 30 years experience
With clients in over 20 different countries and a business built almost exclusively on personal recommendation, I've been coaching since 1991. My work's been featured in numerous TV and documentary features as well as over 40 articles in the UK press alone
Diverse know-how
I've successfully helped individuals win Presidential elections, sell their businesses, educate, change attitudes, raise finance, win contracts and transform cultures - all through powerful presentations. My corporate client list includes some of the world's biggest companies and I typically work with clients at the highest levels both nationally and internationally
The most difficult a speciality
Surely the most challenging and stressful speaking opportunity, I've personally coached over 3,000 TV presenters, hosts and journalists, many of whom present to millions of viewers and are now household names. I've also helped prepare hundreds of executives, celebrities and public figures before facing the media - often one of the most hostile "audiences" imaginable
Benefit from the company I keep
I learn by doing. My colourful client list, mainly comprised of leaders in their respective fields, be it corporate, media or public life – provides me with continued exposure to a broad range of sectors, attitudes and beliefs. This is reflected in the content of my work, ensuring you're provided with skills and techniques backed up by tried, tested and proven experience
Benefit from my experience
Over the past 30+ years I've successfully prepared speakers for all manner of events including...Sharing the stage with three serving Presidents of the USA
Stars & hosts for some of TV's biggest hit shows including five BAFTA winners
Major worldwide retail product launches
Leading international motor shows including Geneva, Paris and Frankfurt
International sport stars facing the world's press after winning - and losing

About me
It all started by accident.
I was a 21 year old working in British broadcasting and successfully coached some novice TV presenters. A national newspaper wrote about it. And my phone didn't stop ringing.
Since then, over the past 25 years, I've helped some of the biggest names in business, politics, celebrity and media be more confident, more compelling and more effective in their presentations.
I learn more from each and every client and pass that on to the next one. You'll have the benefit of that collective knowledge whether you're trying to present, persuade, sell, motivate or connect.
