I attended the Presentation Masterclass today with Helen and it was an amazing day helping with my public speaking skills. The day was structured really well with us doing our talk at the start, then tips & advice on our talks from Helen and how we can make them better from controlling our nerves through to the structure of the actual talk & how to deliver it well. Ending the day with doing our talk again using everything we learnt, which was a lot better than at the start of the day. Helen is really friendly, knowledgeable and gives the advice in a way that is really easy to understand and implement. I will definitely be using the skills I learnt going forwards for webinars, networking & for a talk I have coming up in a few months. Thank you Helen!Posted on Google![]()
