Presentation skills masterclass

Maxine and Colin delivered a brilliant full-day course sharing their knowledge and insight on how to communicate simply and effectively, present with confidence, professionalism and enthusiasm, and design and order presentations for maximum effect with your audience. Their industry-tested experiences and anecdotes created an engaging and memorable group seminar that enabled me to identify my personal presenting strengths and weaknesses, and gave me a variety of new tools and methods to communicate effectively at work and in my personal life.

I attended the 1 day presentation skills course and learned more in 1 day than on the back of many presentations done in the past.

Highly recommend for everyone.

Also, two amazing facilitators in Colin and Maxine!

Excellent course - Comms training

Excellent course - very well delivered at an appropriate pace. I have presented for a number of years now but their advice is brilliant - their critical analysis delivered in such a positive way that it increased my confidence in delivering. Very worthwhile

Media training, under the spotlight.

A well structured, great paced day of media training delivered by two passionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable people in Colin and Maxine. Some great scenarios that both challenged and prepared the team for what we may one day have to face. We all took away some new skills and were able to sharpen a few older ones that we had in our arsenal. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who may need to work with journalists.

A confidence boost for all comms professionals

What made the experience great was the pre planning that Pink Elephant had put in place before we arrived. They asked the right questions to find out what the likely scenarios were that we might face and made us face them head on.
Then they walked us through radio and TV interviews and also writing press releases while avoiding 'pink elephants' in our language. The team at Pink Elephant were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a chilled, fun day, and I would highly recommend.

Practical communication toolkit

I work on an industrial site, handling calls from members of the local communities. I attended a training course facilitated by Pink Elephant to develop my communication skills for this task. Bill and Colin facilitated a very insightful session, giving me a practical toolkit for handling tough conversations. I highly recommend Pink Elephant!

Increased confidence and knowledge

Working with Colin for an MC gig I have coming up was so beneficial. He made me feel at ease right from the start of the workshop which really calmed my nerves.

I feel much more confident in taking on this responsibility now and have the theoretical knowledge to expand out the work we did together to finish off the full script.

Thank you Colin, your help has much such a difference.
