Having to deliver a presentation as part of the hiring process is quite common. It is very rare to deliver a great presentation without training. Again I have had professional training in this area and have delivered at least 500 presentations in my professional career. I have delivered financial market presentations in New York, London, Paris and Frankfurt to name a few. My “Doing Business Now” presentations in the above locations, when I was a Sales Trader at Prudential-Bache Securities, were to audiences of 200+ Financial Advisors. I regularly run “Career” presentations at UCL and am running similar presentations covering 1-2-1 Service and financial market topics at LSE, Exeter University, University of London and ESCP Business School in the first two months of 2015.

Presentation skills are learnt. A lot of ground including ‘mock presentations’ can be gained in a couple of hours. I offer a presentation skills training service. Sessions can be telephone or Skype.

Students can book me to help them deal with a single presentation situation that is approaching with a particular company ( again a company that I will almost certainly know ) or students can book me in to get their presentation skills nailed down before facing the real thing.
