Sonia is an excellent facilitator and the content and delivery were first class. I've attended a number of presentation skills courses previously and none of them have focused on the detail that this course does. I took away some great learnings to implement into my presentation delivery and would encourage anyone who conducts presentations on a regular basis to attend the course to improve their skills.

An in-depth, engaging, thorough 2 days that will utterly change how you approach presenting.

I can't thank Belinda enough for taking my presenting skills to the next level - there were so many simple but effective things that the programme taught me and I've already started to use the presentation mapper for upcoming client presentations. What made the course feel different to your average training programme was the investment and time Belinda also spent coaching us individually - Belinda's feedback was extremely insightful and those sessions also provided a great opportunity to work on and improve my skills in a 'safe' environment. I've definitely developed my skills and feel like I've massively stepped up - and as a result, have so much more confidence - thank you!

BT

An amazing personal course, pretty lifechanging in terms of how to deliver an effective talk/presentation. As someone with ADHD, I struggle to be concise, and knowing that means I often lack confidence in my delivery. This course taught me how to deliver in a concise way, without losing any of my unique style.

I really enjoyed Walk the Talk - after 3 years of internal talent programmes, this has been the singularly most valuable course I've undertaken and I'd recommend it to anyone. The material is brilliant for first time, right up to the most seasoned presenters, and Belinda's passion is unrivalled. She is extremely knowledgeable and brings so much to the course, I'm delighted to have worked with her. There is a tremendous amount of camaraderie developed within the cohort, making it a truly great and authentic networking experience.

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish! A great program, I would recommend to all.

Really enjoyed the workshop. Was really awesome to see the progress of my and my colleagues development and see their confidence develop.

It's fantastic and I feel like my confidence and skill set has skyrocketed in the last two days!

Company Shop Group

Company Shop Group

I have had the opportunity to attend a number of presentation courses over the years but I would have to say, this "pitch to Win" format has topped the lot. The format and in particular the presentation mapper gives you the tools to prepare for any medium of presentation, on-line, face to face, large audience, etc. Plus the module on building your presentations gives you the confidence to simplify your presentations, that results in a much more powerful, impactful and memorable experience for the audience and presenter alike.

Fantastic experience! I learnt so much from SecondNature.

One of the most beneficial courses I have attended. It has enabled me to reframe how I approach making a pitch. I had originally found this to be a relatively daunting prospect but now I feel excited to give it a go using the Presentation Mapper, which is a fabulous tool.

Containerships

Containerships

SecondNature is head and shoulders above any other external programme my company has used. I would highly recommend the session for anybody who has seen their online presenting increase in 2020!

I do believe you truly hit a home-run at Containerships these last two days! I have to say your ability to grasp our business was uncanny...

DGP Intelsiuis

DGP Intelsiuis

Without doubt I would recommend this programme for anyone who has face to face meetings online and needs to present with style and impact. The programme really encourages you to think about your audience and covers everything from the set up of your surroundings, compilation of slide decks, annunication, getting your message across, communication, audience engagement and participation, the journey and the destination for your presentation. The roadmap is a genius idea to use as a template for any presentation you need to put together. Overall a hugely useful course which has given me oodles of confidence!

From the start Sonia made me feel at ease. The content was great, split evenly into manageable modules to give me time to work on what I had learned. From my “environment set up” to the presentation content and delivery, it all flowed very well. This (online) training has improved my confidence and is something I will take with me, not just on line, but face to face and even in general conversation.

The course was excellent & very thought-provoking. It has given me skills that will be invaluable for presenting and life in general.

For a two hour (online) fast class I thought it was great to get everyone to question their techniques and give some really useful pinpoints on how to engage more successfully with your online audience. Also pinpoints on your webcam layout is always useful!

Euromonitor International

Euromonitor International

Really recommend this training, it was super helpful to structure the narrative of any kind of presentation and build confidence!! I got so much out of it in just 3 days!! Belinda is fantastic!!

A very practical course with lots of useful tips that are very easy to implement but with great impact on the quality of the presentation! I am excited about my next presentation where I can put into practice what I've learned from Belinda.

Very well-designed programme and well-tailored to our company's work.

I've had presentation training in multiple forms from multiple providers over the decades...this was the most pragmatic and instantly applicable set of lessons I have come across, containing a framework that helped with my specific need of keeping to a tighter narrative and jettisoning the "fat" rather than rushing. It helped me create one of the punchiest decks I've built in a long while, and I'll make an effort not to let the learning from this one fade.

This was probably the most useful training I have been on in years! I learned loads of new tips, and already have started to put into practice what we covered in the modules.

Firstly, a gigantic thanks for the training. I’ve attended many of those over the years, it is still a fairly rare so see that the trainer genuinely wants you to succeed. It has been greatly useful, also I’m happy to report that, for once, there’s a tangible change in the organization (people don’t finish with Q&A slides anymore, though they still think a “thank you” slide is needed).

It is a must in the professional/corporate world. I wish that I had done it 10 years ago!

Interactive, practical and you can put the material into practise immediately.

Great instructor, intense course with useful tips.

It’s one of the only trainings I’ve done recently where I’ve felt fully engaged and changed the way I present in 48 hours….. I would say everyone should do at least some form of this training.

Fantastic tools, tips and tricks and a presentation roadmap that is easy to follow.

Everyone should take this course no matter how much experience you have – you’ll be surprised how much you learn.

It was relevant, engaging, useful and enjoyable. Enrol today, thank me later!

Although slightly uncomfortable at times (if you don't like being videoed!) I thoroughly enjoyed this programme and have left with some invaluable techniques to use, alongside the presentation mapper, which is itself a great tool. Additionally, Belinda is the perfect coach; encouraging, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a joy to be around. This is the second time that our company has used SecondNature and I would not hesitate to endorse the course and Belinda.

Belinda was an excellent teacher, tailoring the course to mine and my colleagues’ specific requests and presentation needs. I have already applied what I learned to a successful client presentation that Belinda helped me refine during our 1-2-1 session. Thank you!

Not being a natural or experienced presenter at all, I feel a zen-like enlightenment being furnished with the many techniques and tools Belinda so competently showcased. I now feel genuinely confident in my ability to plan and deliver engaging presentations... with impact!

Hoare Lea

Hoare Lea

I personally found the whole experience really enlightening. My experience has been largely formed on the back of technical conferences presenting research findings to scientific communities.

This is a fantastic programme - Sonia has condensed an immense amount of experience and insight into something easily understandable, manageable and usable. I will be referring to the course materials for every presentation preparation going forward, whether I have weeks to prepare or an hour. The combination of clear but nuanced presenting tenets put forward and Sonia's personable and reassuring coaching has given me the confidence to engage seriously with working on my presentation skills, with much of my previous apprehension and trepidation removed. Thank you Sonia!

This was a really helpful course that covered both theory and practical implementation. The course has improved my confidence and the use of the mapper particularly has changed the way I would go about preparing for presentations in the future.

Genuinely the best presenting masterclass I’ve done to date. Great practical steps and the coach was very willing to give extra tips and advice when asked.

Superb fast-track course for a large group, suited to varying levels of confidence and ability. Great opportunity to build camaraderie and teamwork skills, as well as developing and fine-tuning presentation skills for both preparation and delivery.

The programme is great at giving you tips to present in a new and more interesting way and to be confident enough in your presentation style to be much less reliant on your slides to get your message across. Thank you Sonia!

The course made me think about aspects of presenting online that I had never considered before - Looking at the camera, lighting, sirens and points of persuasion. I will definitely use the planner as a tool to clarify my thought and work out my presentation structure before diving in. The One to One presentation really highlighted areas where I need to concentrate and unlearn some old habits!

It's the best presentation course I've been on. I feel like it really improved my confidence.

The course was exceptionally good, the content was a good balance between developing slides and presenting information to maximise engagement with the audience. I've learnt lots throughout this course and have plenty in my toolkit to continue developing my skills, it have was great to have time out of the day job to focus on self development. Sonia is a delight to work with and I felt an instant rapport, I always looked forward to our training sessions. Highly recommend.

The impact of this programme on my career will be far greater than I first thought. The techniques and tools that Belinda has shared have been fantastic and I am already applying them in my everyday working life. Belinda was very friendly and engaging and really put me at ease the whole time. Highly recommend this programme!

I found this training incredibly useful and I feel like it has really helped 'level up' my presentation skills. The 1:1 coaching and small group sizes mean that it feels very relevant and interactive. There's plenty of space to ask questions and dig deeper. And the content is brilliant too. I've learnt techniques and tips that I expect to use for years and years into the future. Thanks Belinda!

Nairn’s Oatcakes

Nairn’s Oatcakes

I did find it extremely valuable. It not only helped me improve the delivery of presentation skills but all how to plan and structure a presentation too. The planning has actually greatly helped the delivery, and it feels like the content I am delivering now has emphasis on the important sections. Although I do not like being filmed, I found this valuable since it shows the difference from the start, throughout and once training was completed. I found this method adds to my confidences since you can visually see the improvement.

This program has given me some very useful tools, knowledge and insights in how to produce a compelling presentation and supporting business case that I will continue to use for the remainder of my career. Belinda has been excellent in providing group-based and one-on-one training to highlight current skills gaps and methods in which to address them whilst always being professional, engaging and great to get along with. The presentation mapper is especially useful in building the framework of a good presentation and the supporting documentation really helps to build on that framework. Overall I would highly recommend this course.

Extremely worthwhile course and really helped me prepare for an important presentation. Belinda guided me through the process and her feedback was excellent. I don't think i could have done it without her. I would highly recommend this course to anyone how has to present.

I went into this with reservations about how much it would help, and it has completely changed my approach to presenting and exceeded all my expectations.

Great programme. Tailored to my individual needs. Full of top tips & practical solutions to feel confident & deliver your best presentations.

Northern Trust

I found the training extremely useful and the coaching technique was much suited to my style of learning. It has made me think about presentation preparation a lot more, how to structure presentations and overall delivery. There are numerous tools and techniques that I will now be using in practice and therefore made the coaching very valuable. The one to one coaching is much more valuable and felt more personal so I could relate to the training and see how it would work in practice. I found Belinda very easy to work with and be coached by straight away, which made the training enjoyable and extremely useful. 10/10.

A very interactive and beneficial programme with an excellent facilitator (Belinda) who was very personable and clearly an expert in her field. Reviewing my own recorded presentation was initially daunting but it was very much a worthwhile exercise to critique current style and understand opportunities to improve (an also to build on existing strengths. The Presentation Mapper is a great tool for guiding presentation content and message - I will definitely keep it in my toolbox!

In my 24 years of professional experience this is the best training program I have ever received. Sonia taught me how to present online in a crisp, concise, and professional manner. I provided a list of goals that were all met. Items such as persuasive and concise content, effective client engagement, and tools for the audience to remember key points. Sonia is a master trainer and presenter, was engaged, and hit all of the important points. I am very grateful for Sonia and I would strongly recommend her and this training to anyone.

Training was top notch and easily one of the best I've experienced. The program provided the structure and tools to embrace presenting opportunities with real confidence. Sonia was excellent and it was a true pleasure working with her.

One of the most well run and useful training sessions I have ever done. There are so many useful tips and tricks that I have already begun to implement into my day to day presentations. Adapting this course for online presenting was also invaluable. Belinda is an engaging and knowledgeable facilitator who made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

A great programme for those of all levels and backgrounds. Really helpful and feel like I am now more confident and prepared for presentations in the workplace.

I'll definitely be using the presentation mapper for all presentations going forward in my role. I wish I had it sooner because it has proven to be a really useful tool in distinguishing useful information from interesting information. A skill every strategist needs to have, and I believe this tool will help with that.

Engaging, useful & dynamic workshop. Thoroughly enjoyed & fantastic leadership of the day.

This was a great introduction into presenting online. Belinda is incredibly engaging and fantastic at making you feel included in the process, as opposed to being a passenger. Some really simple hints and tricks that will hopefully improve my online presenting!

Belinda has a way of making being out of your comfort zone not such a terrifying place to be! The presentation mapper is an excellent tool and the How to guides were particularly useful. Using the presentation at the beginning of the programme and then at the end to benchmark progress was effective.

Since beginning working with Belinda my confidence has grown enormously. Fear of presenting and nerves have held me back over my career but I now feel able to take it on - and maybe even enjoy it! Since doing the virtual presenting course I have been brave enough to host and present at three webinars and am planning more on the back of my latest coaching. The one-to-one coaching especially was great as it meant we could focus on areas for improvement.

A very enjoyable and useful programme. A must for anyone that wants to present well. I'd normally say "Make it Face-2-Face", but Belinda was so good at facilitating this online, I'm not sure I'd be right.

I found the tips for online presenting invaluable. My slide preparation has improved and focus in presenting as a result. Belinda was an inspirational trainer and I would highly recommend this course to my colleagues.

This was one of the best trainings I had. It helped me structure my ideas for a meaningful presentation and get the way to pass the needed info to my audience with confidence and with the best way to keep them engaged and interested in what I'm presenting!

The structure of the programme is simply great. It helps to build the presentations in more efficient way and with the appropriate focus on key points that presenter would like to tell to the audience. The mapper provides simple guide that support presenter to prepare meaningful slides, wording and remind on technical/admin tasks that are required for online presentations. I really enjoyed session and guidance of Sonia. I am convince that gained experience will help me to move my speeches and presentations to another level. Well done.

One of the best (if not the best!) programmes pertaining to the topic that I have attended. The programme enhances one's natural character and equips one with the right tools and techniques to deliver compelling presentations while being proactive in creating the content.

The program was excellent in the way it simplified the daunting task of making presentations to simply always start with the destination in mind and making sure all steps you take at the start and during the presentation will always lead to the desired destination.

The course was great. The format and content was very well laid out and logical to follow and to use again and again to perfect presentations. I was amazed at how much more relaxed I was doing a presentation after the training. Belinda is very engaging, knowledgeable and helpful.

A very well structured program...had a solid structure that enabled me to see clearly how I had learned and improved.

Sonia is a fantastic coach and I really enjoyed the sessions. The presenter mapper is a great resource and I feel more confident already with the techniques and tips I have picked up.

Sonia was amazing, the first teaching voice in a long time that I actually wanted to listen to. Great feedback and enthusiasm. I couldn't fault her. As for the course content, it was easy to understand and engaging. I am already using the tips and tricks in my presentations at work.

Thoroughly enjoyable, concise training course aimed at both experienced and inexperienced presenters. There are plenty of tips on how to properly structure and deliver a presentation plus how to avoid some of the pitfalls.

The 'How to Present to Persuade and Influence' training course completely revolutionized my approach to presentations, equipping me with powerful techniques to captivate my audience and drive my message home. Since taking this course, I've noticed a significant improvement in the way I communicate, resulting in higher engagement, better buy-in, and enhanced impact across my professional endeavours.

I would highly recommend this course. The mapper is a game changer and made putting the content of the presentation very easy. I received very clear and concise feedback on my presentation skills. Overall very happy.

Extremely beneficial day, thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.

Very interactive and lots of “real world” examples used to add context.

Excellent training, very interactive and informative.

Highly recommend. Having not much confidence it’s helped me think I can achieve something out of my comfort zone.

Very interesting programme that everyone should attend, will help with whole career - engaging throughout.

Empowering – there is no presentation I will not be able to deliver now I have these skills.

A great course and inspiring instructor helped me push my presentation style and skill.

It highlighted and fixed the bad habits I had. I thought I didn’t need this – boy was I wrong.

If you are looking for great training showing you how to deliver business presentations there is only one you should look for. SecondNature with Sonia!
