David is coaching 9 CEOs for specific pitches at the moment. When he first gets introduced to the new client, what typically happens is that he is presented with a slide deck to start proceedings.

As a presentations skills coach I am used to telling leaders what to do. But now I am putting together a showreel video and as it is still a presentation, it is critical that I apply my own rules. In this episode, I explain how and why I put it together and you get the chance to hear the audio version.

Powerful Presenting For Leaders ·

2020/07/13

I recently saw a post about how someone LOST 2000 followers on LinkedIn by changing their icon to incorporate the Pride colours. One of the comments in the thread said this was virtue signalling. Is virtue signalling a concern for presenters?

2020/06/26

The death of George Floyd impacted David profoundly. He has found it difficult to know what to say because he has never encountered prejudice of that kind. But he knows what he thinks and what he feels and he knows what he needs to do. As a leader, you can find yourself in the same spot. This is how to deal with it.

2020/05/26

No-one knows what the future holds when it comes to live events. But I do believe that even after lockdown, when things start returning to normal, remote speaking, presenting and facilitating will still be a significant part of daily business life. In this podcast, I explain why.

#53 How did David handle doing a LIVE Q&A?

Powerful Presenting For Leaders ·

2020/05/03

Normally, when David does a keynote speech, there are no questions at the end. The client wants to get their value for money by having him speak for as long as possible. But after doing a recent remote motivational speech live, the organiser followed up with a live Q&A session. This podcast episode is the first half of that session.

Powerful Presenting For Leaders ·

2020/03/11

There is one number more important in business than any other and we should avoid it like the plague. It is the number that is sending businesses to the wall and particularly those of many speakers. In this episode, David explains why this number is so significant but even more importantly, how you can circumvent it to ensure you still gain maximum impact when communicating as a leader.

David posted today on social media about how managing nerves is still the #1 issue when it comes to presenting. Someone posted that they ‘believed’ that nerves are good to maintain focus. This is utter bullshit. David tells you why in this podcast.

Powerful Presenting For Leaders ·

2020/02/26

If it was easy, every leader would be a presentation rockstar. Improving presentation skills requires an entire deconstruction of your current speaking self, learning successful and tried strategies and turning them into habits. How hard can that be and have you got what it takes?

#46 Don’t learn interesting, just unlearn boring

Powerful Presenting For Leaders ·

2020/02/19

‘Every organisation must prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.’ - Peter Drucker. This is EXACTLY what David does when he coaches CEOs. He takes them apart and reassembles them as a presentation rockstar. But to do that takes a leap by the mentee. Most want to be a little more interesting/funny/better with technology, etc. But to have a significant improvement requires something much deeper. David explains how he does that and the impact it had on one CEO when he made the change.
