like to thank you for your assistance in preparing us for this pitch.
In eight years of working within the healthcare industry this is the

appointed by 4.00pm on the same afternoon."

presentation together as per your recommendation and had nearly all

ovation!!!!"

course."

after my sessions with each of you, my presentation in Monte Carlo
went down outstandingly well.....it certainly woke the audience up
(quite literally in some cases!) and was warmly applauded."

enjoyable as well as informative presentation skills course. It has
been of immediate use as I have just finished 'wowing' them in Madrid,
Paris and Frankfurt!"
American
Express Europe Ltd.
"I personally found it a very
helpful day and spent a considerable amount of time restructuring the
results presentation to reflect the input you gave us. Since then, I
have had to front another presentation and am very pleased to say it
resulted in us being appointed to regenerate the retail core of the
city."
Hammerson
plc.
"Just a quick note to say thank
you for the presentation skills programmes you ran for our retail
sales team. They were all enthusiastically received and people who
regarded themselves as veterans of the 'boards' said they gained
valuable insight into improving their techniques."
British Sugar
plc.
"Just a quick note to say thank you again for the excellent coaching you gave us last year. We finally sold the business after 18 months and I have to say that not once did we have problems with the presentations. In all we did about 18 to private equity houses as well as multiple banks.
I genuinely believe the skills you taught us stood us in good stead.
I am now working 6 months notice after which I will move on to new projects. I would not hesitate in giving you a call should I find myself in a new business in need of some professional coaching. Thanks again "
Viking Moorings Group Ltd.
"On behalf of the Reynolds team may I thank you for the coaching you gave us on our recent course. It was with some trepidation that we ventured down to Bath to embark on something none of us had attempted before!!! We have all certainly learnt a lot and now have a genuine respect for how the speeches are made at a professional level. Hopefully we will all now have a better way of presenting the Reynolds story."
Reynolds Catering Supplies Ltd.
"I have found myself on many an occasion reflecting on having a 'David Lancaster' moment when engaging people & clients - I'm conscious even when I am not formally presenting, so clearly the workshop has paid dividends.
Thank you once again & it was an invaluable course."
Staffline Group Plc.
"I attended your 'Presenting with Impact' course in January last year. Since then it has taken time to wean myself off the comfort blanket of bullet points. However, as I have drip-fed the 'tricks of the trade' with increasing frequency so I have enjoyed a commensurate improvement in the feedback received.
This development of confidence culminated last week in my developing a bells and whistles impact presentation for an internal job interview.
It paid off. I wasn't offered one job but two on the basis of my being an 'excellent communicator'.
Your course was a revelation to me and I continue to be a noisy advocate of all that we learnt.
Thanks again! "
DePuy
"I received the new book this afternoon. I am so grateful. In my 15 year career to date, 2 courses will stand out for me forever. This course was one of them. Thanks again."
National Policing Improvement Agency
"Best 2 days of my life"
Former European Tour golf Pro
"Huge thanks for a great couple of days. Definitely got a great deal out of it"
Former ATP Tour Tennis Pro
"Thank you for a truly brilliant two days. I am not easily pleased when it comes to training and I am not one to trade in hyperbole but the experience was amazing.
I only wish I could have spent some time with you ten or fifteen years ago because it would have made life a lot easier.
I have been on loads of training courses and most have been bland and forgettable but this course is potentially life changing.
Hopefully our paths will cross again in the future. Perhaps when I book my son in with you when he is older so he can benefit earlier in life than I did!"
Peter Rowley Ltd
"Thank you for the previous 2 days. I genuinely learnt a great deal from the course and have been gushing to anyone that will listen about the different aspects, techniques and 'tricks' you taught me. I can't wait for my next presentation! It was fantastic to work with you and joking apart, I was hugely impressed with you and more importantly the things you taught me. I clearly have lots to learn but feel I now have the tools to improve. I actually said to my wife when I got home after battling with the snow that it was arguably the best 2 days I have experienced whilst working for Shorterm!"
Shorterm
"Just a short note to thank you for your excellent course which we all found incredibly stimulating
and on occasions quite profound ! It was also great fun ! Thanks to you I am sure we will never
approach a rostrum, stage or lectern in the same way again. "
CB Richard Ellis Ltd
"Why on earth didnt you tell me that David is not only amazingly G O O D at what he does but he is also a great bloke?!!!!!
The course was S E N S A T I O N A L and exceeded my wildest expectations!!!!!!
Why on earth doesnt EVERY first level leader and above in the BP world do this course??!!!!!"
Castrol Lubricants
"I cannot stress how brilliant the team found this course, it has totally shifted how we will be communicating with our internal and external customers. Since Wednesday the team have been buzzing with enthusiasm and are keen to implement the skills they learnt. The 2 days were thoroughly enjoyable, a great laugh and I will certainly be recommending you for other teams in the business."
Marketing Manager Smith & Nephew Healthcare Ltd
"I have to say without exaggeration or wishing to merely flatter you this was the single most impressive and impactful course I have been on since I started work 10 years ago."
Brand Manager - Hospital. Smith & Nephew Healthcare Ltd
"Thank you, most sincerely, for a wonderfully informative and impactful two days of training. I doubt I have enjoyed, or got more value from, any previous course. It was rather sobering to realise just how much room for improvement I still had, before I could claim to have mastered the art of "Total Plausibility". I thought I was quite convincing and now I realise I was simply very "loud"."
Customer Engagement Controller London 2012 Kraft Foods UK Ltd
"Just a quick message to pass along to yourself and particularly David. In our internal evaluation there was some extremely positive feedback so thank you for continuously providing such a great session for our delegates! Our delegates were really impressed with the content and relevance of the course and some very good feedback for David, 'clearly an expert'."
Ernst & Young LLP
"I thought the presentation techniques course was fantastic and was far away the most, interesting, informative and enjoyable course I have been on in my time at Ernst & Young."
