I recently went on Doug’s live presentation and public speaking skills training course.

It was absolutely fantastic.

It was a great mix of fun group exercises, thought provoking individual exercises to help you improve your communication skills, and an opportunity to present your own presentation which I did. Doug then gave me some fantastic feedback which took my presentation to another level. So much so that I presented it to Airbus my company and I received fantastic feedback.

Doug also does an amazing presentation during the day with some brilliant tips on how to change your mindset for success. Also, how to get over the fear of standing on a stage or public speaking. How to engage your audience effectively. How to improve your use of your voice in terms of your tone, your pitch, the power you use in terms of volume and pausing. Plus how to use the stage and effective body language to connect with the audience on a heart level rather than just a head level. In other words how to create emotion in your speech and emotion in the listener.

He also taught us how to write an inspiring presentation to be paid to speak, engage your workforce or sell your services.

It was a day event and as a senior manager at Airbus I have seen a lot of trainers come into our company and Doug is definitely the best presentation skills trainer I have come across.

I thoroughly recommend him and all he does.
