A one-size-fits-all approach rarely works when it comes to communication. That’s why our bespoke presentation skills course is designed around you – your goals, your challenges, your audience. Whether you’re presenting at a team meeting, client pitch, or industry conference, the way you show up can make all the difference.

We start by understanding your natural communication style and building from there. Our training helps you find your voice, clarify your message, and connect with authenticity. A bespoke course means you’ll get specific help where it counts – whether that’s body language, storytelling, or how to handle Q&A with ease.

One key tip we always teach is to avoid starting with slides. Build your narrative first. What’s your message? What do you want the audience to feel or do? Once you know that, visuals become a support tool, not the presentation itself.

With our tailored coaching, you’ll walk away with tools that work for your personality, not a rehearsed script. We can also give you access to filming and playback, so you can see the transformation in real time.

Nerves are normal. Even the most experienced speakers feel them. It’s your body’s way of preparing you for something important. But nerves don’t have to control you. With the right tools, you can channel that energy and walk into your talk with focus and clarity.

The first thing is to breathe. Proper breathing grounds you. It slows your heart rate and helps you stay calm. Before you speak, take a few steady breaths in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Keep it slow and even. This tells your body you’re safe.

Next, reframe the nerves. Instead of thinking of them as fear, try to see them as excitement. The same adrenaline rush that makes you anxious is the one that sharpens your mind and gives you presence. Tell yourself it’s your body getting ready to perform.

Preparation also plays a huge role. The more prepared you are, the more secure you’ll feel. That means knowing your message, not just memorising your lines. If you understand your core points and know where you're going, you’ll feel more confident even if you get thrown a curveball.

Finally, focus on the audience, not yourself. Nervous speakers often go inward, worrying about how they look or sound. Shift your attention outward. Think about the people in front of you. What do they need? What will help them? That simple shift makes a huge difference.

At Presenter Studio, we work with clients to turn nerves into confidence. Public speaking doesn’t have to be scary – it can be a space where you shine. Learn how in our full course at https://www.presenterstudio.com/business-presenter-training/presentation-skills-training

When you're asked to speak for thirty minutes, the goal isn’t to simply talk for thirty minutes. The goal is to deliver something of value.

One of the biggest mistakes speakers make is feeling they need to use every second they’ve been given. They go on too long. They repeat points. They fill space just for the sake of it. But audiences don’t measure the quality of a talk by its length. They remember how it made them feel. What it made them think. And whether it gave them something useful.

If you can land your message in twenty minutes instead of thirty, do it. If you can leave the audience with one great idea instead of five forgettable ones, that’s a win. Brevity shows confidence. It tells your audience you respect their time. It leaves space for questions or discussion. And it helps your key points stand out.

It also helps you stay in control. The more you ramble, the more likely you are to lose your thread or drift off course. By keeping things focused, you keep the energy in the room where it should be.

At Presenter Studio, we teach speakers how to structure talks with clarity and impact. Our training helps you make your message land – in less time, with more confidence. Take a look at the course here:  https://www.presenterstudio.com/business-presenter-training/presentation-skills-training

Your body is part of your message. Whether you’re standing on a stage or presenting in a meeting room, how you move and hold yourself has a huge impact on how your audience sees you.

A strong physical presence starts with having a central place. This is your home position. It’s where you deliver your core points and where you naturally return to between moments. Standing grounded in one place communicates clarity and confidence. You don’t need to pace. You don’t need to fill the space. Stillness can be powerful.

That said, movement can help if it’s intentional. You might walk to one side of the stage to make a new point or to involve a different part of the audience. You might move to the other side for contrast or to tell a story. Keep it to two or three main locations. Movement should add energy, not create distraction.

If there’s a podium, don’t feel trapped behind it. Consider standing just beside it instead. This small shift can help break down barriers and add warmth to your delivery. The podium can sometimes act as a shield. Stepping out from behind it makes you feel more present and more human.

What you want to avoid is drifting. That means wandering around without purpose or fidgeting on the spot. It breaks focus and dilutes your message. Practice using your body to support what you’re saying, not take attention away from it.

Facing a media interview can feel daunting, especially if it’s live. But with the right preparation, you can feel confident and ready to handle whatever comes your way.

The first step is to get clear on your message. Before you go into any interview, ask yourself what the takeaway should be for the audience. What do you want them to remember? What impression do you want to leave? From there, you can build short, focused answers that deliver impact.

Next, consider how your answers might sound out loud. Speak them aloud, not just in your head. Practice turning points into short, conversational soundbites. The media loves clarity and brevity. Think about examples or personal stories that support your message. People connect with stories far more than statistics.

It’s also important to anticipate the questions. Some may be easy. Others may be more probing. Think about what you’re likely to be asked and how you’ll respond. If a difficult subject comes up, stay calm. Acknowledge the point, then return to your key message.

Lastly, your tone and body language matter just as much as your words. Keep eye contact, sit with relaxed energy, and speak at a steady pace. Even on radio, your voice will reflect how you’re feeling. Calm, confident energy builds trust.

Media training is about learning how to communicate well in the spotlight. It’s not just for celebrities or politicians. In fact, it’s increasingly important for business leaders, brand spokespeople, and anyone who might need to represent their company in the media.

At its heart, media training is about helping you speak with clarity, confidence, and control. That could be during a TV appearance, a radio interview, a podcast, or even a live social media stream. It helps you understand what journalists want, how to frame your message, and how to stay composed under pressure.

A good media trainer will help you prepare for different types of questions — from the friendly to the challenging. You’ll learn how to keep answers concise, how to land key points, and how to avoid common pitfalls that can derail your message.

It’s not about learning a script. It’s about knowing how to speak in your own voice, while staying on message. The best media appearances are the ones that feel authentic. And that takes practice.

If you're representing your brand or business in public, media training can give you the tools to do it with impact and authority. At Presenter Studio, we’ve coached CEOs, founders, and on-screen talent to build confidence and stay in control.

Whether you're preparing for a TV interview, a press day, or an online video, one of the biggest challenges is how to come across naturally on camera. It can feel unfamiliar. Formal. Sometimes even intimidating. But with a few simple shifts, you can take control and deliver your message with warmth, clarity, and confidence.

The first tip is to treat the camera as a friend. Instead of seeing it as a lifeless machine or a judging eye, imagine you're speaking to someone you know. Someone you like. This instantly softens your body language and helps your voice feel more conversational. The audience may be behind the lens, but if you speak as if they’re right in front of you, they’ll feel more connected to what you’re saying.

Second, look to deformalise the space. Traditional settings can sometimes make us stiff. Whether it's a corporate boardroom or a sterile studio, try to bring a sense of ease into the environment. This might be through how you sit, how you breathe, or simply the tone you use. Speak as if you’re having a conversation rather than delivering a speech. You’re not reciting lines — you’re sharing a message.

And finally, know your message, not your script. Trying to memorise word for word can trip you up and make you sound robotic. Instead, get clear on the points you want to make. If you know your message inside out, you’ll be able to adapt in the moment and sound more human.

Slides can be helpful. But they’re often misused. Too much text. Too many transitions. Too many moments where the presenter turns to the screen and forgets about the people in front of them.

At Presenter Studio, we encourage presenters to see slides for what they are – a visual support, not a script to hide behind. The moment you speak to the screen instead of your audience, you’ve lost the room.

Start by reducing the amount of text. A single headline. A striking image. A few key figures or quotes. That’s all you need. If you fill the slide with dense paragraphs, people will read ahead and stop listening to you.

Next, keep your focus on the audience. Speak from your own knowledge and experience. Let the slide reinforce your message, not carry it. You should never feel like the screen is doing the heavy lifting. You are the presentation.

Finally, ask yourself if you even need slides. Not every idea needs a visual. Sometimes the most powerful moment comes when you tell a story without anything on screen. When the attention is entirely on your voice and your message.

Using slides well is about restraint, clarity, and confidence. If you want to improve your delivery and visual communication, take a look at our training at

A smile can do more than ease your nerves. It can help you connect. It can build trust. And it can make your message land with far more impact.

At Presenter Studio, we’ve seen time and again how a genuine smile transforms the energy in the room. It makes the speaker more approachable. It puts the audience at ease. And it shifts the whole tone of a presentation.

Smiling tells your audience you’re comfortable. That you’re open. That you’re confident in what you’re saying. It also signals warmth, which makes people more likely to listen and respond to you.

And the effects aren’t just outward. Smiling helps you as the presenter. It calms your nervous system. It slows your breathing. It reminds your brain that you’re in control.

The next time you present, think of it as a two-way connection. Look people in the eye. Acknowledge the room. Smile when it feels natural and let that energy guide you. It’s not about being overly cheerful. It’s about being real, present, and human.

If you want to feel more relaxed and confident in front of an audience, our business presentation training will give you tools you can trust. Explore the full course at:  https://www.presenterstudio.com/business-presenter-training

Writing a presentation doesn’t have to feel like a mountain to climb. The key is to build it in layers. First comes the structure. Then the script. Then a set of notes or cue cards to help you deliver it naturally.

At Presenter Studio, we help professionals write presentations that don’t just land the message, but bring personality and confidence to the room. Here’s a simple way to think about the process.

Start by mapping out a timed running order. This gives your presentation shape. Think about what the talk is for, what you want the audience to take away, and how you want them to feel at the end. Then break the time down into sections – an introduction to set the scene, your main points or ideas, and a closing message to leave them with impact.

Next, write a script. But not just any script. Write the way you speak. Avoid long, dense paragraphs. Instead, think about how you’d explain the content if you were chatting to someone over coffee. Be conversational, warm, and clear. Add in little moments of story or personality. A short anecdote. A challenge you overcame. These are the things that help people connect.

Then, once you’re happy with your script, reduce it back down. Create cue cards or notes with simple headlines or trigger words. This helps you stay on track while freeing you up to speak naturally and look up from your notes. You’re not trying to memorise the talk word-for-word. You’re giving yourself the tools to stay present.

This approach helps you sound more confident, more human, and far more engaging. For more presentation help and training, visit our full course at Presenter Studio: https://www.presenterstudio.com
