The beauty about Personal Presentation’s coaching is that it benefits
everyone within the circle of the person being coached. By confronting
and liberating yourself, it helps you attain your full potential for
the benefit of yourself, your colleagues, your business and your
family. The confidence it provides enables you to take on the
challenges of the day with greater vigour. Especially in times like
today, their work has never been more important as people seek to
re-establish trust and leadership in an uncertain and broken
world. What you do isn’t coaching, it’s liberating souls.

I heard about Julia’s work at Microsoft, where I saw how she
transformed the performance of those who had to deliver board level
presentations and had to create personal brands. She has a wealth
of knowledge and experience, and is without doubt the leading expert in
her field. I would very strongly recommend her and her
team. Great results, expert, high integrity.

I’ve come to realise that the danger most of our people face is going
in and trying to create an impression. The tendency is not to be
the real you. You try too hard, and ultimately come over as
false, and any basis for real trust is ultimately undermined.
The
coaching has given us the confidence to go in and ‘sit back’.
This is the key to opening up real communication and developing a
relationship built on integrity and trust.

Nothing
quite prepares you for the intensive and challenging experience
provided through the Personal Presentation programme but it is a
fantastic and unique opportunity to bring out the very best in yourself.
Leaders need to understand how they are received in order to
communicate and influence and this experience can be directly and
effectively related back to your daily experience in the workplace and
as an organisational ambassador.

I discovered connections between my performance, as perceived by the
audience, and ongoing personal concerns in my life generally. The
coaching gave me the opportunity to analyse and work on what types of
behaviour offer a truthful and effective reflection of myself.

I
feel as though I have re-discovered what I naturally enjoy doing:
communicating with passion, colour and commitment. I don’t quite
know where, or how, but somewhere along the way I dropped these skills
in the dirt. I feel as though I have re-discovered an essential
part of me and re-learnt to focus my energy and commitment through the
power of communication.

I concentrated on what I had learned on my coaching and tried to be
more energetic and charismatic, making more use of pauses, emphasis and
humour. On the day, the presentation felt very different - we
engaged with the audience very easily and overran at their
instigation. We heard on Friday we had won the work for this
£300m scheme. Feedback was that I and the team had really "struck
a chord".

Dealing
with Personal Presentation Ltd is a joy!! They have a friendly,
professional and personal approach combined with a high level of
passion and expertise in what they do. They work hard to
understand the clients' needs and to deliver superb results. You
never feel like you are simply an income stream for them as can be the
case with other consultancies! They care deeply about their work
and this shows in every interaction I have with them. I would not
hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to significantly impact
not only the presentation skills of one of their people but also their
leadership and communications in general.

The Executive board of ICG had a week long session with Julia, Mark and
their team. The purpose of the week was to improve intra board
communications and to provide an environment to further strengthen the
team and for it to operate more efficiently and openly.
The programme was an unconditional success.
All members of the executive team, many who started fearfully, finished
the week in a much better place. Communications improved between each
member. Discussions became more open and delicate matters were not
ducked or avoided: much more "say what you think and say what you mean"
and these discussed without side. There was a much greater degree of
unity and better team work all round.
It also helped the team, but particularly me as chief executive to
better understand each of our strengths and how each best contributed
to the team itself; useful, of course, for succession planning and
management thereafter. It also gave us all an opportunity to think
about the business in an uninhibited long term way and allowed us to
discuss long term strategy in a free and more open manner.
Finally it was bloody good fun!

What a roller coaster of self-discovery! The Programme may have exposed
my flaws and weaknesses, but the skills I learned along the way helped
rebuild my lost confidence and regain my self-esteem.

The biggest advantage of my work with Julia was the immediate benefit
that her intensive, high impact co aching gave. It was a great
confidence booster and the learning is as real today as it was when I
completed the course two years ago.
