About this course

What your team will learn

Great presentations are about three key things – the content, the presenter (you) and the delivery.

Our crack support team for budding pitchers and presenters gets you off to a flying start with a workshop that will help the necessary skills for you to craft and deliver compelling content. Developing your presentation deck relies on a lot more than opening powerpoint and starting to write your content.

This presentation skills course will help you feel more confident about your pitch, talk or presentation because your content ducks will be in a perfectly formed row!

Our Pitch Ninjas course has a bustling ‘workshop’ feel to it, with delegates bringing their pitch or talk with them and putting it into simple presenting frameworks and message templates. They then work on their presenting skills via several short exercises all designed to enhance confidence. The learning process is super interactive and uses techniques gleaned over many years of personal experience from our team.

You choose the topic – such as the opening minutes to a new business pitch you’re working on. Or it might just be getting your business creds down to a brilliantly pithy, engaging delivery.

Our Pitch Ninja workshops are all about learning practical skills and working on live projects to keep everything real. Whether you want to boost your communication skills, deliver better presentations or even feel more confident about public speaking, this course is for you.

This presentations skills workshop will appeal particularly to anyone looking for new ways to translate corporate messages into the real world. You might be a brand manager, marketing director or business leader; you may work in advertising, PR, internal communications or in a creative team.

People love thinking about to be better prepared, considering the audience and the practice they get on all of our Now Go Create courses. Folks leave with a newfound self-confidence in their presentation skills and feel far better equipped to stand up and deliver their messages in an engaging way.

Who is this course for?

The presentation skills training courses we offer at Now Go Create are suitable for anyone and can be helpful in any occasion where you need to deliver a memorable and professional presentation.

More than that, your newfound presentation skills will be useful in any situation that requires you to be part psychologist, creative, strategist, salesperson and actor combined. This course will help you to get all your content ducks in a row before you think about how you want to look, sound and so on.

Lots of people open up Powerpoint to write a presentation – that is not the sole purpose of this course! It will naturally help you develop a deck but not about increased reliance on visual aids.

We’ll help you to get clear on your presentation content on this high-impact training course. Post course, you’ll have new skills you can use straight away – even on some of the more difficult audiences you may encounter when giving presentations!

Do you tailor this course for me?

Yes – our presentation courses are perhaps more tailored to you than on any other of our training courses. Pitch Ninja is a highly interactive workshop made up of a series of exercises to get you from the blank page to your very own skeleton presentation (on a project of your choosing) during the session.

So yes, you bring whatever you’re working on – whether that’s first or last draft or anywhere inbetween. We’ll work with you to get your content and delivery in shape.

Don’t panic if you’re not working on anything right now and simply want to become better at pitching and presenting. We can usually find something personal and relevant for you to discuss and work on pretty quickly.

Where do your presentation skills workshops run?

To keep costs down we usually come and deliver this workshop at your office or workspace. If you want to run this before a storytelling workshop we can deliver it online. If you want to get offsite and have the budget, we love Wallace Space’s individual and creative training spaces, all over central London. We travel all over the UK and abroad to deliver our workshops.

Can you work with me on my presentation skills one-to-one?

Absolutely. Coaching is a well researched and useful HR intervention to help develop an individual’s potential and provide career support, as well as helping people to develop a more strategic perspective after a promotion to a more senior role (the CIPD has a useful coaching and mentoring factsheet). Of course, everyone’s needs for coaching are different. We have a range of coaches to work with whether you are a Creative Director looking to transition into a leadership role or simply wanting one-to-one support to prepare for a killer pitch, a Keynote or presentation. Your creative coaching sessions will be facilitated by one of our trained coaches. Great coaching conversations empower the individual to find the answers within themselves. This is a key difference between coaching and mentoring. We think of coaching like a trellis on which a plant can grow and thrive – providing structure and support.
