Presentation Skills

"Leornian have led our Presentation Skills Programme over many years, contributing particularly in the area of handling nerves - a session that always is highly valued by delegates. The tutor has a lively personable style combined with considerable management experience. She has offered an invaluable development resource for Kimberly-Clark and I hope that our working partnership will continue for many years to come."

"Alex Sherman leads Kimberly-Clark's International Presentation Skills Programme with a level of dynamism, energy and expertise, which would be hard to exceed! Working with delegates who range from recently recruited graduates to senior managers, Alex's programme is packed with practical advice, impactful feedback (using video replay) and lively modelling presentations.

Consistently, programme after programme, we see significant improvement in our delegates' presentation skills. Alex handles international groups - some with over 14 different nationalities - with ease and leads a programme, which consistently is rated as excellent by those who attend."

Delegates - Kimberly-Clark

"I am so glad I went to your course on presentation skills. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to learn all you had to teach us. The fruits are being born as we speak and there will be many more presentations I will be making in the near future. It's an extraordinary feeling, an enormous buzz that I derive from presenting to people."

Jana Gidney, European Finance

"I had no experience of giving talks and wanted to break into the talk circuit but the thought of doing so was very daunting. Richard's coaching got me started and I really appreciated his focused, direct and honest approach. When I started, I was very apprehensive about the thought of giving a talk - at the end of the programme I felt much better equipped. I have since spoken to a range of audiences, small and large, and can honestly say that I now look forward to giving a talk. Something that I thought would have been impossible to achieve!"

"As a portfolio manager, I am involved in presenting complex information to a range of audiences, some very challenging, some unfamiliar with investment terminology. The major benefit of Richard's coaching was in the confidence it gave me. I now feel able to speak before a group of any size and deliver a presentation fluently and with conviction. This has played a very important role in our business development."

"Richard was excellent at making you feel confident and calm. He is very experienced and knowledgeable in his field. Excellent series of courses. I've learnt a lot. Relaxed environment, plenty of useful tips given. Constructive criticism of exercises which made big improvements. Very thought provoking day. Made you think about how you say things and the difference it can make to your presentation."
