Presenting…You!
Presentation is an important part of
the work environment today. Too many presenters spend
an inordinate amount of time on the text and the media aspects
of their presentation, only to find their message is lost.
Strong presentations benefit from attention to four main
components:
| |
• your personal energy
• visual aspects (anything your audience sees)
• your voice
• the text |
When these elements are present and congruent, your message
is complete and can be fully heard. Our commitment is to assist
our clients in finding and expressing their unique ‘voice’
and dynamic message.
If any of the following statements apply
to you, you would benefit from our programmes. Have you ever:
| |
• seen how you actually look and sound
(on video)?
• considered how you want to sound, and what impression
you want to create?
• had trouble relaxing sufficiently so that you can
be yourself in public, at meetings and interviews, thereby
creating a strong impression and deliver a convincing
message?
• identified the one thing you want the audience to
take away from your presentations?
• considered the quality of your physical and vocal
presence?
• shied away from speaking because you’re afraid to
answer questions in public?
• ever made a company template your own by adding elements
unique to correspond with your style?
• possibly lost a job or a promotion because of your
inability to present yourself effectively? |
In our work with clients, we pay close
attention to:
| |
• your posture and physical presence
• breathing and healthy vocal technique
• expressiveness, communication, and presentation -
using your personal strengths
• techniques that will help you be centred and focused.
• your ability to listen actively and attentively
• how you prepare and think about your presentations |
The benefits of being a strong communicator
are multi-faceted and communicating with your unique voice
will add:
| |
• skill and confidence to your encounters,
both personal and group
• will add impact to your influencing skills
• opportunities for problem solving
• dimension to team work with those inside and outside
of your immediate work circle |
Alchemy Programmes offers alternative ways of working
with our clients. Though the elements remain the same, we
tailor our work to the individual or group that hires us.
We look forward to hearing how we can be of service to you!

TESTIMONIALS
| “Meribeth has carried out
training on both an individual and group basis for Skandia,
and without exception everyone has agreed it was the
most beneficial training they have experienced to help
them improve as a presenter.” |
| |
John Litchfield, Skandia UK |
| “I am very grateful to you
for helping me to overcome my fears and start to actually
enjoy presenting. Thank you for caring about the 'whole'
me too, as I now understand that all aspects of the
person contribute to well being and self- confidence”.

Sandra Postles, HR Director,
National Savings and Insurance UK |
| “Meribeth knows what whole
person coaching really means -mind, body and beliefs.
Leadership coaches typically lack the ability to work
with the body and so miss opportunities to build confidence
and personal power…” |
