Public speaking doesn’t have to be so scary that it’s up there with death as one of life’s greatest fears. Nor should it render your audience to death by powerpoint!
In this one-day workshop, you’ll discover how to design, develop and deliver presentations that connect with the hearts and minds of your audience, setting the stage for you to contribute a lasting impact.
“Catherine supported me through the creation and delivery of two keynote speeches ensuring I was confident, prepared and ready to present. Working with Catherine was fantastic and I would absolutely recommend her as a presentation coach to anyone – both to those who fear public speaking and those who love the spotlight and just need some guidance.”
– Lou Zoanetti, Manager Director
