Present with confidence, not just slides
Plenty of capable people know their subject inside out and still dread presenting it. They freeze when the room goes quiet, or the presentation goes fine until the questions start. Dan Deighton's presentation skills coaching is built for those people.
Dan went from shy introvert to five-time regional public speaking champion, and has directed 200 public speaking clubs with 4,000 members. He works as a presentation coach from Sheffield, in person and online.
The occasions Dan coaches for
It's all professional:
- Presentations to senior leadership and colleagues
- Board meetings
- Keynotes and conference talks
- Pitches to investors and clients
- Webinars
What you'll work on
The coaching focuses on feeling confident and composed when presenting, especially in the Q&A. You'll work on thinking on your feet under pressure and handling pushback calmly, so a tough question doesn't throw you off course.
For audiences of senior leaders, investors or boards, you'll also work on being heard and taken seriously, and on getting your point across in terms of value and ROI.
A five-week presentation skills course, one to one
Dan's core presentation skills training is the Confident Communicator Sprint: five 1-hour sessions over five weeks. Think of it as a presentation skills course built entirely around you, rather than a classroom of strangers. It covers both how to build your authority and how to present and speak in public. There's a version for native English speakers and one for non-native speakers.
If your presentation is only days away, the 7-day Emergency Sprint gets you ready fast. For whole teams, Dan runs a half-day presentation skills workshop. See team communication training.
Across Sheffield and the surrounding area
Dan provides presentation skills coaching across Sheffield and surrounding areas such as Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Chesterfield and Wakefield, and online anywhere.
