Program

My mission is to empower technical professionals and academics with untapped potential to transform the way they present, confidently present bold ideas, and connect with their audience through brave storytelling, ultimately fulfilling their need for recognition and professional influence.

PRESENTING IDEAS AND STORIES THAT MATTER

For leaders, creatives, and the quiet achievers ready to bring their stories to the stage, own the room, and deliver talks that truly land. Focus:

• Crafting keynotes, pitches, or presentations

• Owning the moment on stage

• Connecting through storytelling

• Finding your voice

Make it stand out.

  • Paul gave me the inspiration and confidence to transform my first National keynote presentation from what would have been a chronology of my career highlights into a compelling story that wove together my passion for planning with the key moments that have transformed my career path. My presentation resonated with the audience and even brought the chairperson to tears. Thank you!

  • In May I had the pleasure of delivering a keynote at an international conference. I am grateful to Paul who- as a presentation coach - was integral to the keynote writing process. He challenged me to think "outside the box" to enhance the messages I wanted to share, to connect with the audience, and to present in new ways. This experience was so valuable and I highly recommend investing in the presentation process. I have learnt so much and look forward to using this new knowledge and skills in future presentations.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

    I have not previously received such positive feedback from a presentation I’ve given. So many audience members came up to thank me for a great presentation, one even suggesting it was the best presentation they’ve ever seen. People love the approach – love the stories! I’ve even been invited by two different organisations to give the same presentation at future conferences and industry events. I think the comment below, which I received by email after the event, from a senior academic at another University, sums up the feedback I received.

    "Just reaching out to let you know how much I valued being in the audience for your keynote yesterday. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience so generously. Your address was brilliantly crafted, perfectly pitched, and impactful. It was delivered with incredible insight, reflecting a great deal of work, careful thinking, and compassion. It was just so excellent! I learned a lot, and I want to commend you in the most superlative way!"

    So a massive thank you! This is absolutely down to your guidance and coaching, in moving beyond just facts and into stories, simplifying my approach to presentation slides, and the weaving of stories into the content I want to share. Your process took me out of my comfort zone, was challenging, but also a lot of fun. The result was the audience connecting with my ideas more deeply, which left them more engaged, and, I suspect, better informed.

    I recommend Paul’s program to any academic who has technical research to present and who wants to transform their delivery and audience engagement and experience.
