The New Talking Through My Hat CD is now available
Many of these Keynote presentations also have a CD-Rom / Audio CD and PocketBook to compliment them.

Overview of Programme:
Understanding how to plan, prepare and deliver a presentation is an everyday activity for many business people. This can be either in-house, to staff and / or to clients.

However, many of us suffer from nervousness, from a concern that the audience will ‘hate me’, or that I will ‘forget my lines’!

In the short Keynote we look at some of the most basic tips and techniques for a successful presentation, how to structure and plan the presentation – and then how to avoid classic mistakes.

This is highly illustrative and entertaining with stories about how to stop your underwear ‘letting you down’, how to handle the weirdest seminar room, or how to manage a difficult audience. Patricia will draw you in and engage you, so that you will want to jump up on stage too and join in the fun.

How you will benefit:

  • You will start to realize that you can do this – and it is enjoyable
  • Through planning you will develop a wonderful technique for freeing the mind
  • You will start thinking about the audience and not about you
  • You will learn from other anecdotes what to do and not to do

Attracting Generation X+1 - Don't over Promise: 6 Quick Ideas - August 2006
Is this the first sign of many, that Generation X +1 is here, is different and is beginning to flex its muscle? The work ethics of the late 90's, to slog your way to the top, to be too exhausted to enjoy life after work, put up with a heavy workload and demands for delivering against targets, is no longer acceptable to this demanding and powerful (because of their scarcity) group.
Can you teach old dogs new tricks?
There is much in the media about skills shortages in the UK and Europe, a reducing population available for work (fewer babies being born) a growing, healthy but ageing population, problems with pensions - and now a proposal from the Government to extend the retirement age to 68 by 2050.
