Creating Presence
“Develop confidence and self-belief that produces a lasting improvement in performance”
Creating Presence is our premium two-day workshop for 6-8 people. Like all our courses it is interactive and focuses on learning by doing. The content is always fun, challenging, experiential and effective. Theatre sports exercises, role-play and live coaching are all part of our repertoire.
This course is not a public workshop. It’s designed with business and corporate organisations in mind. Creating Presence comes with a great reputation and outstanding feedback. It is an exceptional professional development course for staff and team members.
Course Overview
What people get from the programme
- Creating Presence is our most popular course because participants have two days to practice, present and try new ways of being in front of a supportive audience. Invariably, this leads to an improvement in teamwork and communication.
- People see themselves on video, get constructive feedback from trainers and their peers, learn to lighten up, slow down, laugh, play and push themselves to perform in ways they never imagined.
- They develop confidence and self-belief that leads to an improvement in performance that is enduring.
They also
- Practice key messages, develop better storytelling skills, eliminate jargon and create memorable anecdotes and descriptions.
- Have opportunities to practice new techniques and target areas of weakness – e.g., using gestures and eye contact.
- Set goals to break ‘bad habits’ such as frequent use of ‘um’ or speaking too fast.
- Learn how to deliver ‘openings and closings’ that will hook and engage audiences – regardless of the presentation.
- Avoid creating ‘death by PowerPoint’.
In summary – they have the most fun they’ve had in ages
All our feedback testifies to Creating Presence being a highly successful and life-changing course for a significant number of people.

Creating Presence Outcomes
- Creating Presence is our most popular course because participants have two days to practise, present and try new ways of doing things in front of a supportive audience.
- People see themselves on video, get constructive feedback from professional trainers and peers, and identify with the vulnerability of others. As trust and confidence builds, they lighten up, slow down, laugh, play like children, and push themselves to perform in ways they never imagined.
- Participants not only increase skills and confidence, they also have time to practise new behaviour and see how it improves their ability to perform and communicate.
- With more time and practice, participants are able to develop a greater depth of confidence and self-belief. This leads to lasting change and an improvement in performance that is enduring.
