Presenting Online
The World has rapidly pivoted to Online meetings and events.
Whether it is COVID-19, Increasing Costs or a Need for Greater Reach
You NEED to Get better at Presenting Online!
But How??
Too many managers, leaders and presenters think that moving an event online or hosting an online event they can just do what they usually do face to face and their audience will still engage.
IT IS NOT TRUE!
Presenting online is being part Radio Presenter, part TV Host, part Keynote Speaker and part Relationships Guru!
With the continual growth of affordable technology, faster internet speeds and globalisation, it is rapidly becoming a necessary skill.
Let me share some of my experiences and resources with you.

Online Hosting
One of the key things that makes Online Events more successful in terms of engagement, ROI and delegate satisfaction, is having someone as the anchor.
This is the person that is responsible for keeping the delegates engaged, energised and focussed on the event. It is the standard corporate MC (if there is such a thing) but with the right skill sets to use the technology to maintain the energy of the event.
This is where I come in. 10 years in IT, 20 years hosting and running events (online and face to face), combined with radio, theatre and improv means that I have the skills to keep everything on time, on target and outcome focussed.

Presentation Coaching
Is it time you took your Online Presentations to the next level?
Maybe you are comfortable on stage but what about when your audience is not in the same room or same country as you?
Using my skill sets, training from some of the industries best and experience running online events I can work with you to increase your results and the impact of your presenting online.

Events Cancelled/Postponed
Twitter User Sarah Evans has been crowdsourcing a list of events that have been cancelled or postponed due to the Corona Virus. You can see the list here.
With events the size of South by South West, and some governments banning gatherings over over 1,000 people, now more than ever we need to get comfortable with online events.
