World Class Presenter Workshop
Presentation skills for the 21st century!
Presentation skills have always been important. It used to be that you could bumble along with a clunky Powerpoint slideshow and get by delivering with a few bulleted points to a polite crowd of 30-3,000.
NOT any more.
Today’s audience is more sophisticated on your topic than ever before (they Googled it before you stepped on stage) and they can ‘twitter’ or email their feedback while you speak!
A presentation to an audience of 50 could actually end up in the 1000’s once it has gone online or been broadcast live across the planet. Add this to the pressure to compete on a global stage where competitors may be across the globe and unknown.
Also, today's audience demands a higher level of engagement than ever before. Gen Y want to be inspired, Gen X are hungry to lead and Baby Boomers want to make sense of a rapidly changing world where all the rules of business have changed.
The problem is, unless you step up your communication skills and become a World Class Presenter, you are actually doing yourself, your career and your business harm.
>I might decide that I like the look of your law firm, only to be uninspired by an address of the senior partner - so I start looking for another job!
>You might think it's only a Monday team meeting, but for me it was the reassurance I needed to get out there and work hard to sell property.
>You might think it's only a little talk at a conference as the event sponsor and no big deal...but the spend was wasted if you can't tie in your business agenda with their event theme.
>You might think your project, innovation or great idea makes sense on paper but without the ability to sell it live, face to face with the board, you have no chance of getting a piece of the budget significant enough to launch it.
You have to become a World Class Presenter right now, your future business depends on it!

What some attendee's personally gained from attending the January World Class Presenter Workshop
The piece on personas brought to life for me what "really being myself" as a presenter really means. I now have practical things I can do in storytelling, animation, etc. which will start to show up and highlight my uniqueness. Thanks Matt. Alison Williams
Very interesting and engaging 2 days. Matt is indeed a world class presenter and I look forward to putting his course (9 essentials) into practice for my next presentation. Tristan Freedman
Frames of reference that are different to my hard wired ones - exponential learning and connections. Growing sense of professional affiliation and esteem. Great tools / hints. Great watching and learning from the craft of a master. Thanks! Andrew Mowat
Personas. Highlighting the need to pitch for different learning styles. That "storytelling" is the next big thing (yeah, me!). 3 levels of presenting - some more deconstructing would improve this segment. Dana Maray
Sir Matt Church. The intellectual rigour and challenge made me think in ways I haven't thought for years - or ever. Explained or put into words some stuff I knew but didn't have words for. Lots of revelations. David Price
Really glad to be here and be challenged. Good concrete info. Loved it all - and the revisiting bits. AHA moment! - Conversation this morning with client - "continuous time & dedicated time". Many thanks! Looking forward to the next mentoring session. Valerie Redman
The nine modes of comprehension / presentation were very good for me in terms of practical tips to cover more of these, as well as reinforcement of content and context. Jo Palmer
You have matured as a thought leader and it shows. Particular examples are: Model helper; explanation of contect, concept & context; anatomy of a story; explanation of learning style relevance; as always, participants are great. Ross McKay
Matt, you seriously rock as always! The most valuable parts of World Class Presenter: The layering of understanding; how to design and present a short or long piece to any level of audience; skill level; in an inspriring, original and phenomenal way. Awesome, thanks! Erica Bagshaw
Lots of new ideas that can be implemented - great content and modelled in terms of Matt's leading the 2 day workshop. Great videos and music. Thanks very much indeed. Helen Wiseman
Storytelling. A story for each situation. Design stories & alternative endings - stories that may well include you - elevated energy. Build of interatction. Multiple explanations. Amplification in practice. Glenn Cardwell
Thanks Matt. Some great AHA! moments. I gained a lot of insights of how to take allmy knowledge and apply it more effectively in a more systematic, meaningful way. You used clear steps to do the How To. Was well worth flying all the way from Perth. Thanks!! Julie Warburton
The most valuable part of WCP for me was Matt's seamless transition from Observer / Demonstrator / Critic / Teacher. Sometimes watching a master at their art, you get lost in the magic. Matt consistently came back to a past message or analogy and broke down its construct, purpose and aims. Brilliant on so many levels. Darren Hill
9 Essentials! Couldn't choose a favourite part of the 9 as they're all required to achieve the end outcome. However the most valuable part of the seminar was the journey that Matt takes you on to learn more about yourself and where your barriers may be. Tara Meiklejohn
Bucket loads of tools, techniques & ideas. Great validation of things you're already doing and expands, challenges your thinking and practice. Whew! Melanie Wass
For me the best part was actually the first hour which was quite extraordinarily moticating and set up the 2 days extremely well. You are a world class presenter - you have to go out and teach this course to the world! David Thomas
My main take-away was the way in which I watched you trust yourself in your own style. Being confident in this makes you world class. Thank you. Rayna Matthes
Great 2 day experience. Chock-a-block with ideas, tools, and processes that will make me a better presenter. It was also instructive to have had an insight into your brain and the way it works, even it it was scary at times. Mark Wayland
Thoroughly enjoyed the 2 day program. Comprehensive and great to experience the master. I especially loved the way my expectations were raised at the beginning and I am keen to think about how to use my personas in my presentations. Thank you Matt. Mary King
I began the 2 days a little inferior and realising that, absorbing the many tips, traits and states was daunting. However, I believe I can be a world class presenter. Eamon Eastwood
This is exactly what I needed to kickstart / frame my year. Even though many of the concepts were familiar to me from your previous presentations, I am an auditory learner and love hearing the message in different ways. Each time you speak another penny (*actually gold bullion) drops for me. These 2 days were no exception. You are truly inspirational and transformational. Thank you so much. Helena Popovic
Rock Star, Guru, Shrink: Fantastic - I loved... The posters (great images & contrast). Stories - I need to be more disciplined. Comprehension (can see where I need to plug the gaps). Pacing the inspiration & energy. Sending up trial balloons. Ramping the room. And you continue to walk the talk. Ross Clennet
Thank you for a changed mindset - renewed confidence & practical ideas, strategies & tools to progress my journey. Esp the personas & the yes and, yes but. As someone at the beginning end of the spectrum this gives me a way forward. Leonie Stanfield
Hey Matt, got a LOT out of it, Thanks!! But key one was importance of hitting the behavioural / learning types. Ie. Having behavioural flexibility. Thanks a million, Matt. Keep up the great work. Mark Bunn
You managed to dissect the whole process of great presenting, then put it back together with perceived ease & grace. You made the process look easy and bloodless. What a master! I can't seem to get enough of you. Yeah, you are truly the greated Aussie speaker in the world. Susan Wahhab
