Everyone who presents should use this – always improvements to be learnt & remembered.
Excellent for sales teams that present every day as part of their job.
Very interactive, personalised, applicable advice.
Targeted, relevant and usable coaching! Really helps that Belinda understands our business and can tailor accordingly.
Genuinely and tremendously helpful skills to advance the success of any sales career.
A wonderful workshop w/ thought provoking and relevant techniques to improve my pitch skills.
If you’re presenting/pitching as part of your business – this WILL help you.
Take this course. No matter what stage you are at in your speaking career.
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.
Belinda was a fantastic presenter and I would 100% recommend her any time. She helped us to gain more confidence and showed us how to excite our audience. Many thanks Belinda for the great course.
Super beneficial, fun and thought-provoking.
Engaging and informative course with lots of transferable skills.
I liked the presentation mapper, I hadn’t thought my presentations lacked structure but they will certainly flow better going forth.
This course will change the way you feel about public presenting. Practical magic.
Extremely worthwhile for professionals trying to secure business.
Best presentation course I’ve ever been on.
Coming from a person who has a dread for presentations, I now feel this has brought a level of confidence I didn’t realise I had.
A very useful day to hone your presentation skills & arm yourself with tools to deliver an engaging presentation.
If you want to improve your presentation skills this training is really great.
This course has a formula that works…takes a successful approach to presenting but without changing your own style.
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!
Genuinely excited to see the impact on comms across the company.
Very engaging and provided a tailored experience for each individual to reflect and improve.
A very valuable workshop for anyone that has a technical and product marketing role.
If you do any presenting in your role you must join this programme. Most useful training I have ever had.
Fantastic. You’d never think presentation training would be A) so fun and B) so anxiety-free. Absolutely Loved it.
One of the best workshops I’ve been to. You can see the difference by the end of the day.
I really did (enjoy the course). A great way to boost confidence, self-belief and subject knowledge.
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!
I feel now like I will be presenting as me, rather than hiding behind the organisation when presenting. This programme has really given me my presentation confidence back!
Engaging programme leader. Concise, effective content. Excellent user-friendly guide to increasing presenter effectiveness.
The advice was very concrete and actionable and Dorothy was a very engaging presenter.
A brilliant experience that immediately breaks down key areas of improvement and applies bespoke techniques to address these.
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…
I really enjoyed the training! It was certainly very valuable! I found Belinda really looks into your personality and translates that into tips for presenting that suit this best. Also, the framework was very logical and the pacing was perfect!
Can I just say a massive thank you for the training, it was honestly one of the best trainings I have ever been to and think I have taken so much away from the two days!
Smashed it and absolutely loved it. Couldn’t have done without your support – our Leeds time was invaluable; a toolkit for life.
Absolutely superb – it was great to partner with Belinda. I had no idea what to expect from the course – felt energised and empowered to smash this. Can’t thank her enough – haven’t stopped telling people about it since.
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!
Brilliant + effective programme that has really helped me.
Transformed how I present in a way I’ve been trying to learn for years.
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!
Brilliant, demystifying and manages the fear for good.
Good at helping technical staff sharpen up on their presentation skills and concerns & worries.
Completely exceeded my expectations.
Probably the most effective business training I’ve undertaken.
I think this course will fundamentally change the way I present and also to a degree verbally communicate.
Belinda was a fantastic presenter and I would 100% recommend her any time. She helped us to gain more confidence and showed us how to excite our audience. Many thanks Belinda for the great course.
Belinda – your workshop was perfect! Right length, right amount of content and enough tips and ideas to take away. I know it was not the whole chabang but there were enough little nuggets to help our women speakers on their journey as presenters. And seeing you deliver it perfectly (practice what you preach), was the icing on the cake = a live example! The feedback coming back confirms that everyone really appreciated it and it definitely inspired me! So thanks again.
The course was excellent & very thought-provoking. It has given me skills that will be invaluable for presenting and life in general.
Sonia is an excellent enthusiastic experienced coach and provided amazing tips for presenting well. I feel a lot more confident now…Best coach ever.
Clear, easy to understand and apply. Helped enormously with structure and confidence.
Excellent coach, learned a lot, exceeded expectations.
This was the best presenting training I’ve ever had. It felt very specific & structured & will definitely make a difference in my role.
Fantastic course delivered in a fun and manageable style. Very valuable skills taken away.
Outstanding programme that delivered on objectives and exceeded expectations.
Great session, bloody loads of content to learn. Brillant, unique style of trainers. Brilliant techniques. One of the better ones I’ve had in my career.
Found it so useful. Supportive and constructive with great structure. An amazing way to feel confident in your ability and grow your knowledge.
Most people can present, this programme creates the difference between a presentation and the one presentation that people remember.
Thank you, Sonia. Your approach, experience, and techniques were excellent. I found the course amazing and have taken a lot of learning away from this. I will use the mapper for future presentations and the feedback provided by you.
Absolutely fantastic. This is the ideal course if you want to be a great presenter.
An excellent course for improving presentation skills and managing confidence.” – “NO AM DRAM STYLE ROLE PLAY!”
The coaching was fantastic – it exceeded my expectations, as I never thought I could improve my skills and increase my confidence in presenting so much.
The programme helped me put focus into the key points rather than get into information overload…key words and siren words helped also.
I have recently returned from Vienna, where I presented Highview’s technology at an arena stage in the exhibition hall of a major European power sector conference… and I am pleased to report that it went really well, and I enjoyed the whole process! Your hard work is paying off… thank you.
Loved it! Genuinely one of the most useful things I’ve done in years.
Before the programme I had already had some ideas about what I was going to do and what the presentation would be like. However, after the programme, I now feel that I can present the information in a much more structured and engaging way that will get my message across much more effectively.
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. To have a stepped approach to developing presentations for a much wider target audience, and to have it set out so clearly, was really very useful.
Enjoyable, practical and very useful course, and definitely boosted my confidence in presenting.
Essential for anyone producing presentations and telling a story through data & words.
A must attend for anyone in contact with journalists.
Clearly showed me how to improve presentation skills as a whole, not just physical delivery of my current presentations but how to improve the presentation in the first place.
It was a good mix of learning by doing, analysis and entertainment.
Very useful and relevant to our expectations. Sonia is a great mentor and instructor, they both added invaluable assets to our arsenal.
I would highly recommend this to anyone talking to the media.
Brilliant course, will add so much to my working environment and presenting ability.
Fantastic, gave me the tools to build a planned presentation with confidence. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn the tricks of presenting with confidence.
Amazing course was presented in a really simple to understand way with excellent techniques.
Really informative with lots of practical info and techniques.
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.
An invaluable course for anyone wanting to learn how to better command the room when presenting.
Although I present fairly frequently it has given me the tools to take to another level.
A great opportunity to take a step back – break down what makes up your own personal style and improve it radically.
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. Belinda made the entire experience fun, inclusive and engaging.
A transformative two days learning how to achieve our potential in presenting – great fun and inspiring throughout. Thank you!
If you want to see your performance grow from Z to A in 2 days, and see the kind of presenter you can be, this is the thing!
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.
I wanted to say thanks so much for sending Belinda our way to help with the presentation delivery. The two sessions we had were totally invaluable and we not only had the opportunity to develop our presentation skills, but we’ve also completely overhauled the script making it shorter, clearer and as a result making us more confident in delivering it.
SecondNature have a very professional and personal approach. The course was tailored to my exact needs. I felt Belinda really cared about me as a client and wanted to help me succeed.
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.
Single best course I’ve done that’s going to help me in my day to day.
Very useful workshop – provided a framework to apply to all my presentations. And fun too!
By far the best training I have ever done.
Very informative …made the structure really clear; thought about body language for the first time too.
One of the most useful training courses I have attended. Definitely will be applying what I have learned in my role at Nuvia.
Fantastic in boosting confidence and helping develop my presentation skills.
Excellent, engaging workshop. As a graduate I felt very comfortable in the environment and feel I have learnt a lot of takeaways.
It was a great course. What I also found very helpful was the presentation mapper. I would recommend it to anybody who also struggles with nerves when presenting.
This is a great programme for those looking for some inspiration when it comes to presenting. It will help you understand the best way to approach presenting, how little things can make a big difference and to improve your confidence and capabilities both to external and internal presentations.
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.
Excellent course that was value-adding from the first minute. Belinda was very intuitive and focused her advice on specific examples from my industry.
Just brilliant. I will recommend to others in the team.
This programme was so valuable for people at Graduate level. It is informative + has taught me a skill which will be valuable through my entire career.
The trainer had a very good understanding of our discipline so the course was very applicable. This was far better than expected.
If you think you are good at presenting now wait until you have done this training!
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.
No matter what your skillset in presenting is, this course can help you deliver powerful presentations.
Great way to help structure presentations and great way to deliver concise messaging with tools and training provided.
If you want to nail powerful presentations go to SecondNature.
If you want to be a more confident and credible presenter then take this course.
Very effective as it was interactive and we had the opportunity to practise in a safe space.
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 convinced that gained experience will help me to move my speeches and presentations to another level. Well done.
The programme is not only informative but fun. Would totally recommend to everyone.
Game changing. Great mentoring and personalised information. Massive knowledge gained in a small amount of time.
Very professional and efficient training programme. I really enjoyed every minute of every session !!
SecondNature was a brilliant place for me to expose myself to coaching, especially since it was the first time I’d tried anything like it.
Belinda was patient, informative, and helped me to overcome some apprehensions I had about presenting in front of an international audience at a big conference.
I would highly recommend this organisation to anyone, and be reminded that personal growth is important at any level.
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.
Helped unlock the mystery of presenting.
Very useful and engaging workshop – provided a really clear format and guidance. Presented by an obviously enthusiastic, personable and knowledgeable presenter.
I found it eye-opening. Very engaging. Eased nerves – made it enjoyable.
The programme gives you the science behind the ‘art’ of presenting.
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.
Amazing – everyone who needs to do presentations needs to do this course.
Excellent opportunity to fine-tune your presentation skills to take them to the next level.
A very informative and well structured session, Belinda was effective at taking my thoughts and ideas and moulding these into a coherent plan for future speaking.
