SKILL UP YOURSELF
PRESENT WITH INTENT
Storytelling and presence for the moments that matter
Show up with confidence, clarity, and human connection when it counts most. Whether you're pitching, presenting, or leading the room - master the skills to influence and inspire.
Pitching projects to stakeholders. Presenting to your team. Those moments when you need to stand up and be more visible in your organisation.
You know what you want to say - but presenting it in a way that lands, that moves people to action... that's the next level skill leaders need to master.
The reality is, if you want to increase your influence and visibility in your organisation, you need to master the art of presenting your ideas with confidence and presence. Clear, compelling presentation skills are no longer nice to have - they’re leadership.
Here's how to get there:
FIND YOUR VOICE
Discover your unique presentation style. Your voice has power, learn how to use it with intention.
MASTER YOUR PRESENCE
Feel grounded when presenting. Use body and voice to enhance your message and manage nerves even in high-pressure situations.
ENGAGE YOUR AUDIENCE
Learn storytelling frameworks and audience connection techniques that keep people with you from start to finish.
What participants say
The facilitators really accommodated each individual's personal style of presenting, it was down-to-earth and casual, which made things feel less daunting and approachable.

Small but powerful insights into how to present better - including how to manage anxiety and potential freeze situations. It will impact me moving forward with planning and making presentations, which is pretty big!

Frequently asked questions
How many spots are there?
This training will be hosted for a small, intimate group of maximum 10 people. This ensures each participant gets individual practice, real-time feedback, and personalised coaching on their presentation style.
Who is this training for?
Mid-senior professionals who need to influence up and lead important conversations at work. Our participants are typically team leads, managers, client-facing professionals, and anyone who wants to increase their visibility and impact through impactful presentations. Whether you're pitching to executives, communicating change to teams, or presenting to stakeholders - this is for leaders ready to present with intention.
Do I need any previous experience?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: This training is designed for professionals who present regularly but want to move beyond basic confidence-building. We focus on finding your unique style rather than teaching one-size-fits-all techniques.
This sounds like leadership training - is it really about presentations?
Yes, it's both! We position presenting as a core leadership behaviour - not performance. This training helps you use storytelling and presence to speak up, hold space, and inspire action in all your professional presentations, from boardroom pitches to team meetings where you need buy-in.
What workplace scenarios can I apply these skills to?
The moments that matter most: pitching for budget approval, communicating change to resistant teams, leading stakeholder meetings, client presentations, and any situation where you need to influence and inspire. These aren't stage skills - they're day-to-day leadership tools.
Can I join with my team / a group of people?
Absolutely! We offer a group rate of €495 for alumni and teams. Learning these skills together creates shared language and approach to presentation within your organisation. We also offer bespoke team versions of this training.
How is this different from other presentation skills training?
We focus on leadership presentation skills, not performance. Our human-first approach helps you find your unique voice rather than teaching scripts. It's playful yet results-driven, with maximum 10 participants for high-touch coaching. Plus, everything we teach comes from real-world experience - we walk the talk.
Does this combine well with other trainings?
Perfect pairing with our Leading Groups facilitation course. If you're presenting to groups, you're often leading groups too. Together, these skills create powerful leadership capabilities - presentation skills plus expert group facilitation.
