About this Event
How happy is your audience after your presentation?
Are they queueing up wanting to sign up for your offer?
Have you impressed your bosses and colleagues with your impressive presentation skills and now in line for the next promotion?
Are you creating intrigue when you speak and now attendees wanting to find out more about you?
If your answer is NO then this workshop is for you.
You can attend to this workshop in two ways.
Be a speaker
- Prepare and present a 7-10 minute speech in front of a live audience.
- Get personalised, detailed feedback from specialist presentation trainer, Simon Raybould (aka Presentation Genius). And get feedback from your audience too. Remember - this is as real as it gets. Your audience will be supportive, with a particular interest in public speaking and personal growth
- Organisers will record (on your device, phone etc.) your presentation and feedback (as per request) for your future reference
- Only four speaker slots available
Refine your presentation skill: have an impact on your future presentations by investing time and effort now! Reach more people with your learning and delight your audience at the same time.
It’s like Simon Raybould wrote on one of his blogs: “Time spent working on your presentations is the same as time spent in the gym. You might not like it at the time, but you’ll like how it makes you feel afterwards. Trust me on this: I hate the gym with a vengeance but I like the level of fitness that results from it.
But just like your ‘form’ (gym-bunny speak for technique) is important in the gym, how you rehearse your presentation matters too. Here’s a radical but simple truth… Practice doesn’t make perfect. What practice makes is permanent. So, if you’re practicing it wrongly all you’re doing is cementing the wrong behaviour in your head.’
Practice the right thing.
As Simon said, it’s crucial to practice the right thing. So, get feedback first and then start practicing!
Most presentations can become great with little help from your friends – in this case specialist presentation trainer, Simon Raybould, and your audience. And, of course, after practice too.
Be in Audience:
- Attend, learn from live critique based on a live presentation
- Listen, watch, participate
- Share your thoughts and reflect on your performance
- The more you participate, the more you learn
The session will also include two short videos from world-class speakers. You will be invited to discuss the videos and Simon will analyse each speech and explain his critique. Also, throughout the workshop, Simon will be providing practical tips and suggestions on different topics of presentation based on each speaker's performance.
There are many opportunities waiting for you. Hundreds of people wanting to hear your message. Get yourself ready now.
“It is better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared.”
Time is not waiting for us, join us to an evening of presentation and growth!
After a successful launch in February 2020, now two years in planning, this event is a limited capacity workshop. There are only 30 spaces available because we believe in quality, not quantity.
Tea/coffee included.
Attendee Testimonials
"Attending the Presentation Genius workshop was thoroughly entertaining. As a speaker, I watch many talks and pay attention to stagecraft, hooks, story flows, messaging etc.
Having the opportunity to watch multiple speakers was very interesting to not only learn from, but also to offer advice to in a safe environment. The constructive advice that was given by Simon was absolutely gold. This kind of advice fast tracks an aspiring speaker into someone who can take to the stage with the confidence that they have polished their messaging."
Ian Farrar - Business Coach, Keynote Speaker
"Any speaker-coaching event with Dr Simon Raybould,' Presentation Genius' in the line-up, is special.
However, to actually watch up-close and learn from him leading a workshop live with 6 aspiring speakers, is unmissable.
If speaking more effectively to your audience is important to you, this is a rare opportunity to learn 'how' from the absolute best.
Totally recommended! "
Alan Dawson - Speaker Leadership Density
"Anyone who is considering taking part as a speaker or audience member at the Presentation Genius Workshop just do it!
I took a few deep breaths, took the plunge, and booked on as a speaker. It's the learning you gain from listening to the other speakers and the feedback from audience members and the absolute pro himself - Simon Raybould, which is the best part! Being in a room filled with like-minded folks is pretty cool too!
Yes, it's challenging, but if you don't leap, nothing changes. Go for it."
